We spent a fun three days with the whole Charlton
family at a vacation rental in Fort Lauderdale before
our four-day Royal Caribbean cruise. The rental is
located on Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway
and has its own pool. We lucked out and had record-
breaking temperatures in the low 80's. Perfect!
The middle day in particular was a wonderful pool
day, with the whole family hanging out together on
the patio and enjoying idyllic weather. Mom and Dad
relaxed in the shade while the rest of us soaked up
the sun.
I got my fair share of playtime with the kids in the
pool. They stood on my shoulders (we even got
Logan standing on Sydney standing on me), and I
gave Logan a boost using my hands that had her
flipping over backwards into the water. She loved it!
I went on a gecko hunt with the kids in the front
yard. We didn’t find any and returned to the patio
out back only to discover an enormous iguana
sunning itself right on the pier. We followed it and
watched as it did "push-ups" and blew up the sac
under its chin before heading off in a huff.
