Del Ray Beach ...Part 1

A few months ago David was asked to speak at a Pastors Conference in Delray Beach. The original plan was him going by himself for a the weekend, however, when I looked at my calendar and realized the following week was spring break we decided to get a hotel for a few days and make a little mini vacation out of it...SCORE!

This was our first time to go to the Delray/ Boca Raton area and I must say it was really lovely.
This was also our first time to take our dog, London on a trip. We were "testing the waters" so
to speak to see how she would do if we take her to Alabama with us the next time we go.

London was a little squirmy at first but quickly settled in, below is her progression in the car (hey, you know I had to document it)!

She started out in David's lap and ended asleep on a pillow in my lap:)

We didn't get to the hotel untill late Friday night so we just basically came in and went to bed because David had to be at the church Saturday morning early. The girls and I dropped him off at 8:30 and then we took London to a dog park. This was our first experience at a dog park but everyone was so nice. Madison spent about 45 minutes throwing a ball to this one dog and had the best time. London wasn't so sure what she was suppose to do:)

We had about 4-5 hours to kill while David was speaking. Usually when we are on vacation David does all the driving because I am as they say, "directionally challenged". But thank goodness for the iPhone and map quest! After the park we went to eat breakfast at a place that was very dog friendly so London sat there with us.

When we dropped David off that morning at the church he was speaking at McKinley noticed a tire swing like contraption hanging from a tree and boy that was on her mind all morning. So we headed back to the church to let the girls pay for a while and even Morgan got in on the fun!

And I love this next picture...look at the smiles on their faces.

 First Baptist Delray is a beautiful church and very tropical looking.

Then it started raining.... so that meant myself, three kids and a wet dog was sitting in the car for about 1.5 hrs waiting on David. I will let you guess how fun that was (no pictures of that)!

Next up we left and went to Boynton beach where we stayed for the next 4 days... I will talk about that tomorrow.
