We stayed at my cousin's house in Shalimar. A good amount of time was also spent in Ed & Barbara's beautiful back yard. We also cooked some delicious seafood there. Their gorgeous cats wanted in on the seafood too!

This squirrel was not happy about me coming outside

Live oaks fill the yards along the water

Palm trees come in all shapes and sizes

A stiff breeze keeps the flag waiving as Ed's boat sits safely out of the choppy water

Sofie hides under the bed. This changed fast once she got to know us.

We spent a lot of time relaxing in Ed's beautiful back yard on the water
