Naples, Florida

I just got off the most relaxing and enjoyable long weekend in quite some time.

No, I didn't run off to the Caribbean.  I ran to visit Nikki and Brad and their new little addition, Weston.

This was my first time to visit their new place in Naples.  Between the lush Florida landscaping and the river flowing in the backyard, it really felt like I was miles and miles away from the city.  We lunched and shopped and spent plenty of time poolside lounging and grilling.  Well, Brad did the grilling.  I just ate.

Weston was the perfect little baby, so content and happy.  Nikki and Brad have always been wonderful hosts and entertainers, and it looks like that talent translates perfectly into parenting.

Saturday afternoon we hit the Great Dock Canoe Races and hung out in Tin City for live music and BBQ.

Sunday I crashed Nikki's first Mother's Day and we all headed to the beach.  It was one of the most still and beautiful ocean views I've seen in recent memory.  I can't explain how relaxing this whole trip was but from these pictures you might begin to understand.

I had such a fun time!  Thanks to Nikki and Brad for sharing their little man with me.  I definitely come back to Dallas leaving a little bit of my heart with Weston.  Can't wait to see him again in the Fall.
