For Thanksgiving we headed down south to spend a few days with Rob's family. It was so nice to visit Florida for my first time .... spending quality time with the family and seeing where Grandma and Grandpa lived for so many years. Hearing the old stories and memories from when everyone was younger ... and how much things have changed over the years. It was refreshing to be able to catch some sun and admire all the beautiful clouds ... taking our time, not being in a rush and filing the days with random beach walks. I feel thankful for times like this when we are able to get together because they always help put a smile on my face ... :)

The tropical climate reminds of being home in Malaysia ... soft white sands on the beach ... lots of coconut trees and green palms wherever you look. I was fascinated with all the different palms and lush green. It inspires me to think of what we can plant around our garden sometime ... and hopefully give it a little of that tropical feel of home ... ;)

Here's a few inspirational photos from our trip. Hope you enjoy ...
