Naples!

Paige and I went on a trip over Spring Break! Owen wasn't interested in traveling and Pat needed to work, and also wanted to stay back with Owen so it was just the two of us. It took a long time to settle on a location and I think Naples ended up being Pat's suggestion, and it was a good one! I was a little nervous to navigate airports and Uber rides for the first time but it went well! We headed out early the day after Easter and got to our hotel fairly easily. Naples was beautiful and warm and the hotel was so nice. We ate so much fun food, shopped, spent a ton of time at the pool and went to the beach a few times. We were even there for Paige's birthday so I brought some decorations for our room! We stayed on Fifth Avenue and everything we needed was there. The beach was a ten minute walk just down the street! 
I hope we get to go back soon!
At the airport

We got into shorts and started exploring!

They had amazing trees!

Our first meal was at 5th avenue Coffee Company and we split a panini and fruit!

We shared a Shirley Temple by the pool every day

About to swim!

At the beach!

On the walk to the beach, everywhere you looked it was beautiful!

Trying on fun hats/fascinators at a local store

Posing on the pool deck

Even fun at night! The trees were wrapped in lights and had lit up balls hanging from them

Birthday morning! Paige also got a surprise cake delivered to our room later that day

Birthday brunch-Stuffed Strawberry French Toast! It was so good!!

We tried BadAss Coffee and it was delicious!

Another Shirley Temple!

Italian for Paige's birthday dinner!

Owen and his friends sang Happy Birthday to Paige over facetime and it was so sweet!

Beach pictures!





Gelato! We had a lot of gelato!

This pool was fairly warm and never crowded. A lot of times we had it completely to ourselves!

More gelato!

I had gelato too!
