Good-bye, Anna Maria Island!

Sad day. Our leaving day. We packed the car up and then we headed back to the beach one last time to say goodbye. The kids brought their lovies and each found one last shell. Daniel's had a hole in it, so he turned it into a necklace back at home (very cool!). Annabel's shell found a special spot. It was a bittersweet day, really. Our week had been simply perfect and we ALL could have stayed much longer. None of us wanted to leave. The kids were already saying let's come back again. Indeed, we shall, but this week, meanwhile, shall live on in our hearts. Till next time, Anna Maria. (I'm crying as I write this, you know.)
