DAY 4

Hi all. Sorry for the really late - late night post tonight - but I just got in from a great little date night with my hubby at where else - none other than Target and dinner together at Perkins. HA HA! It's now 11:30pm and we just rolled in. I thought I'd update the blog for ya' before hitting the sack tonight. We spent the day in downtown Naples doing some eating (as usual) and some shopping. We had lunch at a quaint little Italian restaurant on 5th avenue called "Vergena." I had a fabulous dish of Gorgonzola pasta that consisted of potato dumplings and rich cheese. It was amazing.

After eating and shopping, we went for a quick walk on the beach together and then drove around looking at all of the gorgeous homes in Naples. One night, I plan to get my camera and photograph some of my favorite homes here. Once I do that, I'll post them as a blog update one night. They are just amazing!!! While on the beach, Kenidi had a few melt downs because we wouldn't allow her in the ocean. Imagine that. I kid you not - this child is a major water bug. Eventually she just threw herself down in the sand and went at it. I grabbed "Razzi" and caught her in the act.

I captured this shot below of Brennen running crazy on the beach at one point. I love how he was the only one in sight. The beach just looks pristine and abandoned here. What an incredible view!

BELOW: As we were walking along the beach, we found someones flip flops positioned in the sand as shown. I thought it made for a great impromptu picture.

Lastly, my Dad and Cathy gave me some birthday money to take and spend while here in Florida. Well, I stumbled upon these blinged out adorable flip flops at a boutique yesterday called "The Island Girl." Thanks Dad and Cath...I used part of my birthday money on these rockin' flops. I just love them! They are encrusted in the genuine Swarovski crystals and are sooooo me! Just wanted to show ya what I purchased with some of my birthday funds. :) Love you guys!

Until tomorrow, sleep tight. I'm off to bed. Hugs, Angie
