Lovely getaway thank you for taking us along! Jeannine, you’re a great photographer and videographer!
Thanks for taking us along on your trip to Anna Maria Island, Jeannine! I always enjoy these vacation destinations with your sweet family. Hope all of you are feeling better!❤️🙏
Watching Zander live his best life makes me smile. He's an awesome kid!
Woah, your videos were always good ..but they seem SO PROFESSIONAL now! Love your transitions between cuts and music choices. Welcome back!
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback
You vacation looked really nice. I could use some prayers. I fell/slipped in our bathroom. I did the spilts. I’m 53 and have MS and Fibro and doing the splits isn’t in my current range of activities. Currently hard to sit and stand. Laying down is the best, but not great either. I would so appreciate your prayers!!
My husband and I are praying. :)
@@jeannine1739, thank you so much! ❤️
I hope you don't mind my praying for you as well🙏
@@michellebarham326, the more prayers the better is what I say! Thank you! ❤️
Xander’s big infectious smile makes me smile. Now if only he can channel some of that energy my way. Lol. Lexi’s adorable. Looks like a nice little getaway! We live in the mountains of Southern California and it’s going to get down to 12 degrees, so I’m a little jealous. 😊 Hope everyone is feeling better. Congratulations on selling the pictures!
Awe, I love Newfoundlands!! We had two, but they both passed away. They are the best dogs ever! Looks like a fun trip!
Aww sorry to hear that! 😢
So glad your back with great videos.
How comforting to have you back 💗
WELCOME BACK!!!!! MISSED YOUR FAMILY!!!!
Thank you for bringing us with you
The island was beautiful!!
Oh my goodness Zander eating the ice cream and his excitement. So so cute and Lexi so adorable. Sorry you got sick. Enjoyed the video❤
Stayed there 2 weeks in 2014, was visiting friends. It was a cottage and one block from beach. I loved it.
I hope you and your family are feeling better , lovely getaway thank you for taking us along ❤
Wow, everything looks so neat! Thank you for sharing with us. God bless y’all!
So happy to see your videos they are such a bright spot in the day. Thats my hometown 🥰 love it there and miss it a lot. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing! 💜
Thanks for sharing your family vacation! Sending prayers for good health & Happy Easter! Many blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Oh thanks for taking us along loved the family photo s
Thoroughly enjoyed!!! Blessings
Thank you for such an interesting video. I'm sorry you were all sick 😞Great getaway. I hope you feel better now 🙂
You were just south of where I live… St. Petersburg, FL! Anna Maria is beautiful, for sure! They have lovely beaches, horse rides in the water, & delicious seafood! 🐟🐠 How fun! 😁
I so enjoyed watching your trip to Ana Maria Island in my home state of Florida. I loved seeing your son's joy of seeing the pelican and his sheer exhilaration in the Gulf waters. We live in Cape Coral, Florida about 2 hours south of where you visited. Our town is still recovering from the direct hit from Hurricane Ian. We have lived here for 16 years and Ian was the first bad hurricane we experienced. Thanks be to God!!!
I hope you and your family are well. That was a bad hurricane! Thanks for being here
@@theMennoniteMom Yes, we are well now, but still waiting for a new roof. 😃😃😃🙏🙏🙏😎🌴🏖️
Welcome Back!! Enjoyed your video as usual.
Yay you're back thankyou
We love you 💕
Hope you feel better soon
I loved your music choices! Flying was so hard on our daughter cause of her ears and the cabin pressure…. It was so very cool to join in your fun…and relaxing to see and hear the waves❤️😃
Love your family..thanks for sharing
Thank you for introducing us to Anna Marie Island. It looks like a great place to visit.The photos you took of the Air B&B were so beautiful , no wonder the owner loved them and you were able to finance the rent. I hope she gets alot of business because of the photos. She thought of everything when prepping for families with children. I hope your family is on the road to recovery, its so disheartening when illness can ruin a vacation. I'm glad to see you and your sweet family again after the break from You Tube. It surely can be tiring and I'm happy to see a new Vlog.
Wonderful video!❤
I'm so happy that your back. I really missed you guys but I understand what you did. God Bless. ❤❤❤❤
I love your videos and your family! :)
Your family is a true blessing just pure joy , thank you sending love from south OZ 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
It looks really nice, sorry that you and baby xwas ill.God bless you all
That a nice little give away. We are on the longest trip we have ever done in our life. So we live in AB Canada. We went to Thialand are currently in Greece and will be going to Germany then back home. It's been amazing. If I had a CZcams channel I could share with all of you but now you'll just have to imagine what that is like. All that traveling in 16 days. It's intense but it's been worth it
Awesome video, looks very nice
What a wonderful get away. I've bookmarked the cottage.
I love when you take us along in your videos. You do an amazing job and tell us how to go places on q tight budget. I hope all is well with the family. So glad to see you back on CZcams. See you next time.
Thank you so much! I love taking you with!
I love Anna Maria. We lived there 14 years and I do miss it. Loved this video. Homesick a little bit.
We live in fl and yes Anna Maria is beautiful I am so excited for all your upcoming videos you are truly a blessing
What a beautiful place! I know you were probably ready to go home due to illness, but that looked like a place where I would just want to stay, relax, and explore. Thanks so much for taking us along to such a beautiful place. Your drone shots were breathtaking!
Yes! I would love to go back under better circumstances! I hope you can go sometime!
Looks like it was a nice getaway for your family! Looks like Zander had a great time!
What a wonderful weekend!
I grew up in Sarasota so I'm familiar with this location. Very nice. Glad you got to go enjoy a getaway.
great video, hope you feel better soon.
Awesome vlog❤️
What a great family getaway. Looks like the weather was absolutely perfect. Xander is Nolan's mini-me, as is Lexie's yours.💞🙏
Looks like fun!
So fantastic to see you again! Think of you and your family often . This was delightful and you always inspire
Me. May the Lord
Continue to protect
And provide !!!
As I told you before you do the best travel videos, thank you so much for taking us along!🤗♥
What a beautiful place for a vacation! We live right next to the Atlantic Ocean and dream of experiencing warmer waters sometime! 😊
❤Beautiful! Good to see you again! My husband & I were married on Manatee Public Beach on Anna Maria. It’s one of our favorite places.
Enjoyed the video
What a fun get away! Even when it's not all "perfect" it's sweet memories made!❤ So good to have you back!
Anna Marie Island is so beautiful. Your little home away from home looked so cozy. Beautiful video and hopefully everyone is feeling good. Love love Zanders energy!!!❤
Nice to see you back. Love watching your channel. Nicely surprised to hear Strahan's song Deliverance as your choice of music. A great Kiwi artist and inspiration. Please put NZ on your places to visit. 😊
I love Anna Marie Island I use to go there all the time in high school in the late 80's. Last time I went there was15 years ago and it's beautiful.
What a beautiful little place you got to stay in! Would you be able to share a link to the air bnb you stayed at in Switzerland? I'm looking for one for our 25th Anniversary coming up!
Glad to have you back! Xander is such a lovely boy, so enthusiastic about everything and so loving towards Lexi. I love your videos.
Your camera Pom Pom was a TOY! to the dog😃. Our dog would have done the same thing🤦🏻♀️🤣
Always love your videos, so glad you’re back! Really appreciate you keeping it real, makes it all the more relatable and enjoyable to watch :)
I loved this video! But I love all your videos! I love seeing your sweet family. Xander has an amazing imagination, and he's so much fun to watch! And your baby girl is just precious! I now want to go to Anna Marie Island. Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy you're back!!
So happy you are back! What a lovely home you stayed at❤ I hope you all are well! God bless❤
It sure is beautiful there!
Lovely trip..short but sweet. I am so happy to see you all, glad to hear that you are feeling better. God Bless 🙏🙏🥰
So enjoy seeing your family go on trip. Fun times.
God bless your family❤
Love your videos! 🥰 Thank you for all the info👍 So glad you are back!
I’ve missed you and your family. Great to have you back!!!!
Good to see you, and you did find one of Florida's hidden gems. We really do have a lot of them but your right not at spring break or bike week, the traffic and people are multiplied by ten during the whole month of March....
That's interesting! Yes we were there in Feb. I heard we were ahead of the rush! Thanks for being here!
Good to see again!👵💜💜
Poor wee Lexi looks so poorly, Xander is the best big brother. You look like you had an amazing time despite some travails. Love Anna Marie island, the beaches are amazing. We stay on the next island - Siesta Key. Hope the family are feeling better.
Wow so Happy to see you back .The kids are getting so big . Missed you so much . ❤😊
I love the fact that both kids names come from the base root name of Alexander/ Alexandria
Both of which are family names in our family going back centuries
That's so cool! Yes I hadn't realized it to later that we picked the same root word name for our children.
I’m glad you all had a good time. It is hard when babies aren’t feeling the best. They can’t tell you what is wrong. I’m so happy you are back! God bless you and your family!
What a great little house! I 'd love to chill there for a couple of days. Lexi crawling on the airport floor, though, shudder! (I have anxiety). 🙃
Yes I get it. I normally do too but this was a quiet section and she was a bear. I let her crawl for a bit then changed her and washed her
Could you please share the link to the vacation rental you stayed in? It looks wonderful!
It's in the description 😀
Thank you for taking us with you. It looks amazing and relaxing sorry you guys got sick. Kids are getting so big
What a nice place to stay, cozy one to keep on a return stay!👍❤️ kids are getting so big, precious family. 🥰🥰
You are so good! That is amazing! And we can feel God’s love in your videos, you are inspiring me! 😘
Thank you!
It’s good to see your sweet family again. I enjoyed your vacation video. I hope you are all feeling better.
What a beautiful house and views 😊
Enjoyed the trip along with y'all. It's amazing there. Welcome back. Laughter is such a blessing from y'all. Beautiful there. Truly enjoy this video and so happy y'all are back. Prayers and ❤️❤️🙏🙏🛐🛐✝️✝️
So glad to see you all back. Xander has grown SO much oh my goodness, Lexi is such a beauty. Even the illness will make it to the memory books. Good times, thanks for sharing.
I'm crying right now. I miss home so much but after 59 years of living through Hurricanes I just couldn't do another storm. But oh yeah I miss the sand and the smell of the salty water more than I thought I did. My home town was directly hit by Ian last year. Seeing so many places on the beach completely wiped away I was devastated for my loved ones still there but glad they survived. While I do miss home I don't think I could deal with going back to see the destruction still being cleaned up if it ever gets cleaned up. Glad you loved the beaches in Florida.
I can only imagine how hard it would be to see that! And to experience that again and again. 😪
Hey Jeannine I know the struggle of short trips and having little kids. It's alot and you feel as though is it worth packing and hauling everything with kids for 2 days. But it does make memories for the older kids.
I'm glad the lady liked your photos!! What a blessing! Yay!
I was wondering what stroller you have there in your video? I'm going to be in the market for a jogger stroller here soon and I can't decide and yours looks nice.
Have a blessed weekend!! ❤
Yes! I believe it's the baby jogger city mini gt2. I researched into them and it was a good in-between stroller for travel yet could handle gravel and we love it! We found ours used on marketplace
@The Mennonite Mom oh awesome! Thats cool thank you very much! I'll look into it! I like a good stroller that can do most terrains and not be a huge struggle to steer it. Ha!
Welcome back!!Kids are adorable. I love beach areas like this. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope by the time you read this that everyone feels great.
As always I loved your travel video. Zander can find excitement everywhere, he just loves life! 💞. I’m so sorry you and Lexi were under the weather..Bummer! Your husband is such a good daddy, so patient and caring. And what great information about traveling on a budget…way to go!! I hope by now you are all doing better..I’m thinking maybe you all picked up a bug on the plane, hope all is well now!
What a lovely little trip with your beautiful family. Haven't been away in a while but felt like I went along. Thank you so much for all the tips and info. You really put together a beautiful trip for your sweet family.
Thank you! Hopefully you can get away again before long if that's something you wish to do
We have same bug in our house right now seems very harsh on kids. we had strep flu and covid test seems just to be a bad bug. just Love that house and all its features and owner seems very sweet. so glad you could go, and everything come out in your favor. Feel better soon Lexi and Mom. Be Blessed.
Aww I'm sorry. It's an awful one and hung around for weeks for us. I hope you all feel better soon! 💓
That was a very relaxing and refreshing video to watch. Thank you!
So nice 😊
❤Thanks so much for sharing Jeanine! Awesome getaway!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️❌⭕️
What a nice place
We live just a half hour drive from Anna Maria Island! It is beautiful! And there is culture here. You just have to know where to look. I have a friend whose family settled here 3 generations back from me and I'm 68. I also have three friends whose fami😅 settled the central Florida area. I'm first generation. But we were here pre-Disney.
Glad you enjoyed your trip, albeit short. Your photography is amazing!
That so neat! Next time you have to take us 😀
@@theMennoniteMom sure!
Lovely to have you back❤
That was fun! Thank you for taking us along!!
My husband and I went there 39 years ago on our honey moon. Well actually we just went at night and it was raining but I do have a picture of me next to the Anna Maria sign. My Name is Anna Marie so my husband thought I should!
Such beautiful family photos! So interesting to see parts of your sunny, short vacation.
So sorry you all got something on or from your vacation. Glad you had a little fun and some warmer weather! The children are getting so big!
