Jonathan pours some coffee to wake up for the day. "Start every day with a fresh cup of coffee, even on vacation!"
Jonathan waits for an elevator to take him up to the room for lunch. The elevator clearly runs on island time.
Jonathan eats a biscuit with no jam or honey. "Life. may be like a box of chocolates, but breakfast should start with a box of biscuits."
Jonathan makes the bed with an amazing view of palm trees. Jonathan likes to start every day with an accomplishment.
Jonathan shaves his face to get ready for a fun day with the family. He clearly missed a spot.
Lexi Ballard, Jonathan's sister-in-law finally gets her turn in front of the mirror. "Teeth, camera, action".
Jonathan enjoys a mid-day beverage on the balcony overlooking the beach. "It's water, I promise."
Waiting to cross the main strip in Treasure Island. The yellow flashing lights alert cars that someone is about to cross the road.
As the sun beams into the room, Jonathan draws the shade to cool the room. "Florida weather always feels hotter."
Jonathan checks the mailbox for the bike lock keys left by management. They were unfortunately not left by management.

Jonathan enjoys the views from the rooftop area. There is a stunning view from there.

It is time for dinner with the family! These lovely ladies are sporting two cute dresses from Amazon.
The day comes to an end and Jonathan helps bring suitcases back down to the car. "It's going to be a long drive back after such a fun trip."
