DAY 6

(This was just a shot I snapped of some "flats" or condos located behind the Coconut Point mall. They have a stunning Mediterranean gated entrance complete with lion fountains and all. I wanted to capture their beauty for you to see. The photo does not do it justice.)

Today was a much better day for us - the Griswald family. ;) No trips back to the urgent care which was a major plus. Our litle Rocky Balboa is on the mend and her eye is looking a lot better. The swelling is still slightly visible but it looks a TON better than it did yesterday. Ironically, we watched Rocky IV down here the other night. I love that show. It is my favorite of all the ROCKY movies. The best part is when Sly is in his sports car diving down the road, reflecting back on his life and all of the other movies, with that awesome theme song blaring in the background. He is shifting gears and his license plate reads SOUTH PAW. You know the scene, right??? It's right after he has the argument with Adrianne as she is standing atop their stairs and yells "YOU CAN'T WIN!" Ha ha! I know that show by heart - really I do. Hard to imagine that it is 20 years old now. Either way, Kenidi reminded us of Rocky with her eye looking that way. Now, she is slowly on the mend and looking fabulous if I do say so myself. It was a gorgeous and extremely hot day here in Southwest Florida. We got out and about as a family and totally enjoyed the stunning sunshine.

We hit my all time favorite department store in the world - DILLARD'S! You know me - I just had to snap a shot of the front door for you. Hee hee! :) Any excuse to pull out "Razzi." Love, love, love, how you can see the reflection of the clouds in the mirrored glass here.
I managed to find this flower that was literally begging to be photographed. After blacking out the background, I brought back the color to the flower itself. Gorgeous! Love that hot pink shade in the center.
For the 4th of July, we went to downtown Naples and hung out on top of the truck for the big fireworks show. It was a beautiful evening and an incredible day. Tomorrow (Saturday), we are heading out early in the morning to drive further south to Miami. Yes, we have decided to head to "South Beach" tomorrow. I can't wait to drag "Razzi" along and snap some shots of the architecture while there. We are about an hour and a half away from South Beach itself and thought it would be a blast to go visit there and see what all the hype is about. ;) Hopefully I will get some good photographs during our journey there.

Until then, sleep tight.
XOXOXO, The Griswald's
