Florida #3

We had a wonderful last day of vacation on Sunday and a very successful travel day today! Sunday was our nicest day of weather with temperatures around 70 and much less wind than we had on Saturday which made it feel a great deal warmer! We had a blast playing on the beach, going to an incredible restaurant on the bayside of the island and swimming in the pool! I'm sitting in my cold living room in NH, but am very content with the uncomfortable feeling of my sunburned feet (I put sunscreen on everywhere else and apparently the sunscreen really works, because my feet got fried)!

Today was a great day of travel - no glitches! We got out of the house on time this morning, made it to the airport with time to spare, skipped through security with no lines and Camden was a complete trooper on the plane. He literally fell asleep about one minute after takeoff - we were still climbing steeply - and stayed asleep in my arms for about an hour and 15 minutes. Although he was awake for the rest of the trip, he was happy and relatively easy to keep content! Praise God!

Here are some pictures from the end of our time. We had a great vacation together. It was so wonderful to have no schedule, no plans and no distractions - just time together. Vacations are definitely VERY different with a 19 month old than when you are just a couple, but we had a blast watching Camden explore the world around him and learn so many new things! We know we won't always be able to afford getaways like this, so we are very thankful that we were able to this year!
Little feet in the sand...
Checking out the boats on the dock while we waited for our table at Mar Vista!
A view of the outdoor seating at our restuarant! We had a beautiful view of the bay while we ate lunch!
My husband is amazing and let me go out and lie on the beach and read my book while he stayed inside while Camden took his nap. What a good guy!
The Bungalow Beach Resort from the beach! Pretty nice!
We stayed outside on our last night and watched the sunset! It was beautiful!!!
A big jellyfish washed up on the beach...
Playing in the airport. The pilots in the plane behind us waved at Camden and he was SOOO excited!

Bye bye Florida!

Florida #2

Finally, a beautiful day in Florida!!!!! Bright sunshine, and about 70 degrees. It was windy, so that made it feel much cooler than it really was, but we still have the worn-out, been-in-the-sun-all-day feeling right now. In fact, it's only about 8:20 and we're ready to head to bed! We pretty much spent all day on the beach. Camden took one long three hour nap (the second half of it was with me after I came inside after being hit HARD by a football while I lay serenely in the sand soaking up my personal time - not cool) and we enjoyed a mid-afternoon lunch at a restaurant called The Beach House and spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach. Camden started saying (with his mouth, not just the signs) "more," "book" and "poo poo" today! Pretty fun to see him adding to his vocabulary! Enjoy these photos!

The water is freezing!!! I didn't know Florida water got this cold! brrr!
Our little path to the beach...
Scott went for a nice long run on the beach...
Our family...
Swimming in the pool (which we did twice today!)
He is one cool dude!
Camden got his own water and wouldn't let us help him drink it!
We also ordered him a little kids meal for the first time ever today (usually we just share our meals with him) and it came with an ice cream! He was very excited, but wasn't very good at sharing it with me!
We found a little playground after lunch...
Back to the beach...
Camden had fun chasing the birds on the beach...
I was very content in the sun...
Eating dinner on the couch...
Our little patio with the path to the beach...
Yes...Camden had ice cream twice today. Scott and I didn't get much the first time around, so we went out before Camden's bedtime and got some for ourselves (we just shared a little with Camden)...
After trying one ice cream place yesterday that is hailed as the "best desserts in the greater Tampa area" we were pretty disappointed with our experience and thought we'd try this other place we had passed. We like Tyler's better!
It's been a wonderful day, but we're tired and are off to bed! We're hoping that with the time change Camden will start sleeping until 5:30 instead of 4:30...we're not keeping our fingers crossed though. Goodnight!
