I just spent an amazing, warm, fun-filled weekend in Florida with my family. We went to the beach, went boating out on the Gulf of Mexico, and fished... well, the men fished while the ladies relaxed. We ate a lot of fresh seafood and got a lot of sun (it didn't rain at all like the weather had predicted!). I am now on my way to Africa for a work trip. I get to enjoy some more warm weather before heading back to Chicago on Friday. I'll definitely be posting pictures for "Adventure 2: Africa" next week when I return to the states.

Below are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend.
