Visiting Uncle Jim

This past weekend we went to Niceville, FL to visit Paul's younger brother, Jim.  Jim is the second child in the Cahill family of four.  Jim has lived in Niceville for the past two years, and it has been almost two years since we last went to visit him.  We had a great time having a change of scenery and getting to hang out with "Uncle Jim" for a long weekend.  One plus to Jim's location is that he is just a bridge ride over the bay into Destin.  Unfortunately for us, it rained almost all weekend, so we didn't really get to spend any time on the beach.  We did try to power through and spend some time on the beach in the misty rain.  Mary Frances still isn't a fan of the ocean and we got a little chilly so we had to bail out after about 30 minutes.  We'll be back soon enough, though, and will spend a whole week at the beach in August.

We were able to find lots of other things to do, though.  Mary Frances enjoyed getting to hang out with her Uncle Jim, showing him her toys and books.  We got to go out to dinner, go shopping at the outlets, and help Jim pick out a couch for his townhouse (he didn't actually buy it while we were there, but we did help him narrow his selection down to two couches).  Funny side note:  the woman helping us in Rooms To Go thought Jim and I were married and made the comment that we had an excellent babysitter (Paul) to keep Mary Frances busy while we shopped :)

Here are some pictures from our trip:

Thanks, Jim, for hosting us for the weekend!  We had a great time and cannot wait to visit again!
