Easter in Florida 2013

We spent Easter weekend in Jacksonville, Florida this year.  It had been almost two years since we'd been to Jacksonville and decided last minute to make a little mini-vacation out of Easter weekend.  We stayed on Jacksonville Beach and spent our days playing on the beach, relaxing in the hotel room overlooking the ocean, and eating way way way too much food.  It was all about relaxation and it was perfect.  :)

Some things to remember:

- Jace and Tate building huge sandcastles on the beach.
- Going to TacoLu not once, but twice, for some epic tacos and cool atmosphere.
- Doing an Easter egg hunt at the Jacksonville Zoo with Jace.
- Jace being totally obsessed with his Hungry Hippos travel game and bringing his Star Wars action figures with us everywhere we went.  (Gifts from the Easter bunny)
- Having great sushi at Salt Life.
- The boys wearing matching PJs that Grandma Lori sent for Easter.
- Jace making friends at the beach to play with.  He's turned into such a big kid!
- Spending Saturday morning at the Zoo.  So much fun!  Jace especially enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit.
- Waking up to coffee and the sunrise over the water.
- The hotel sending champagne up to our room as a surprise.
- Lane's first times at the beach.  He slept through most of it  :)
- Jace coloring his skeleton coloring sheets from TacoLu in bed at night.
- Having breakfast at the Metro Diner and spotting coupons for discounted funerals, ha!
- Taking the scenic route home and pigging out on gas station junk food.
