It's also worth noting that Naples, FL considers June/July/Aug their off season. It's wild! Our traditional summer is their slowest time of year. We love heading to Naples during this time because it means no crowds, very little wait time and great weather. It's hot, but it's hot in Indiana.
We swam in the pool almost every day. We swam during the day, in the afternoons and at sunset. Neither kiddo had any interest in the kiddie pool (that they've loved in previous summers). They only wanted to swim in the big pool. I don't blame them. It was gorgeous.
While Olive was hanging out in the hammock by the pool, she asked if we could just have our house packed up and mailed to us in Florida. Not a bad idea :)
Ocean days!
We made several trips to the ocean. It was a lot of fun. This was the first time we'd headed to the ocean with no diapers, no plans for naps, no tantrums and no meltdowns. It was amazing! Big kids are rad.
Olive is always the first one to spot the ocean and the first one to dip her toes in the water. She loves it.
Cute cousins.
We had a cloudy day at the ocean which was very nice. It was cooler and really pleasant.
The kids chased birds.
Played with coconuts.
Played construction site in the sand.
And we practically had the whole beach to ourselves.
It was amazing!!
Stay tuned next week for a post on all our favorite beach gear!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Looks so nice there! Both the pool and the ocean!
ReplyDeleteI love going places off-season. It's wonderful to have the whole place to yourself. That is an incredible pool. Is that in the neighborhood of the house? What a great trip. Yes, big kids are rad!! Have a wonderful weekend! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteLOVE your swimsuit friend!! Such a fun season to be in with the kids when they love being in the water!! And that is crazy that the summer months are considered the "off" season in Naples! Does this mean the rental prices are lower?? Thinking we might need to plan a getaway there!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an amazing trip and I totally agree that travelling with big kids is totally rad... and it just keeps getting better. I love travelling in the off season; we went to Tampa Florida in Sept. and drove out to stay on the ocean for a week. It was amazing to have just about the entire beach to ourselves!
ReplyDeleteThat is so crazy that June, July and August are their off-season! When is their peak season? So wild! You may have already mentioned this, but where do y’all stay in Naples? That pool looks phenomenal! Such cute pictures here!!
