The Reason for Going...

Like you ever REALLY need a reason to do Disney World, but our reason for being in Florida in the first place was to celebrate the marriage of my brother Martin Holland and my new sister-in-law Nicky Manson! They were married several weeks ago in St. Vincent (hard life, I know), and then had a reception back home after several days aboard a large sail in the SouthWest Carribbean...

It was a wonderful time with the family; all but our baby sister Ginny and her family made the trip. We had some great time with my dad Nick and his wife Sally, along with the Paynes from South Carolina (my sister Lorri and her family). Punta Gorda, FL is a sleepy little beach town on the West coast of Florida, and we spent Friday and Saturday there. On Sunday morning we were up early and headed to play with Shamu.


Here are some snapshots of Punta Gorda, and the wedding reception.

What a beautiful location and such a neat cake! Looks like it was such a special time together! We also enjoyed looking at the Disney pics. So fun! It was a treat to be able to see y'all. Blessings on you!

What fun!

Did they get married/honeymoon at Young Island? Only reason I ask is that is where Trent and I took our Honeymoon and it's about the only thing near St. Vincent.

Yes! Right on the rock overhang by a beach, and then boarded a sailboat for a week or so.

That is a truly special place. I know they had an exceptional wedding and honeymoon there! Hope your clan are all doing well.
