Abigail's Birthday Weekend

To celebrate Abigail's birthday- Mommy and Abigail went away for a girl's weekend!  We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach (where Mommy has stayed for the Rio Women's retreats before)- right on the beach.

We went to lunch near Deerfield Beach pier- sat outside on the patio overlooking the water and listening to live music!
 Then we walked over to the pier and all the way to the end (it was windy!)





When we got back to our room, a beautiful bouquet of flowers (surprise from Daddy!) were waiting!

Weather for the weekend was nice, but very strong current and advisories against swimming in the ocean.  We had fun walking along the beach and at the pool!




Abigail had fun jumping and dancing across the waves coming to shore.




we collected a few shells

An evening of pedicures, pizza, laughter, and cake!

The next day we had some more pool & beach time before checking out of the hotel and going to Gumbo Limbo nature center- which had a nice long boardwalk, was on the inter-coastal, had lots of aquariums and animals to see, and a turtle rescue/rehabilitation facility!
