Red Tide on Florida Shores


We arrived home safely! The boys enjoyed Florida. We went to Disney World for three days and stayed at the Shades of Green Resort. The boys enjoyed the rides and the pool.
The rest of the week was spent on Daytona Beach Shores. The weather was beautiful! The only bad thing is they had a "red tide" come in. I had never heard of this. The condo accountant said that this usually comes in on the gulf side.
The red tide can cause flu like symptoms for humans. So by the time we left on Saturday every member of my family except my oldest son was coughing and having trouble breathing. The 12 hour car ride home was less than fun! My youngest son, lost is breakfast an hour into the drive. Needless to say the van still doesn't smell the same.
Has anyone ever had any symptoms from a red tide? If so how long did they last?

Ready for Vacation!



We are leaving for Florida tomorrow! Our boys are so excited! We haven't been to FL for four years, so they have almost forgotten the beach.

See you in a week!

Blessings!
