Visiting Grandma Pauline

Over the weekend, we drove to visit KC's Grandma Pauline.  She lives in Cape Coral, which was a two hour drive from Clearwater.  We had to drive over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.  The view was amazing overlooking the water, but the bridge was a little scary while climbing to the top.  










This is our rental car...  It was this or an SUV.  So, KC made Jake take this car.  He was a little embarrassed by our "mid life crisis" car.  But, it's not often that you get a free upgrade!  This car had less than 30 miles on it when we picked it up.  We saw that number cross over a 100 on our drive.  This is probably the only time we'll have a fire engine red two door convertible- so we put the top down, and enjoyed the sun and breeze!  














Grandma Pauline showed us around Cape Coral, and we went on a walk with Bella, her pup.  Then we went to take a look at my Grandpa's boat.  KC's Uncle Mike owns it now, and it was the first time Grandma Pauline has ever seen it closed up!

You can see Jake's shadow- he was there too!


Here are some of the views from Grandma Pauline's house.  The house is located on a canal, and the scenery is amazing!  Jake loved the screen over the pool, and how we were able to spend so much time outdoors.  Our dream house would have an area just like this!

KC's family always took pictures in front of this tree when they visited!

On Sunday, we went to a pier near the Cape Coral Yacht Club.  It's a beautiful, peaceful area.  We walked around, and enjoyed the views.  

It was a little windy...




We all had locally caught grouper sandwiches/tacos for lunch at the Beach House.  The food and views were great, and we even spotted a manatee.





Grandma Pauline took such great care of us, that it was hard to leave...   But, we headed back to Clearwater.   





Bye Cape Coral!
