Our Florida Trip

Okay y'all, climb in and put on your seatbelts - it's time to take a ride in the "Way Back Machine!" Okay, I'm exaggerating a little, but I've been meaning to go through the pictures from our trip to Florida since the end of February - it's even on my to-do list! - but we have been so very busy lately that it just seemed to slip through the cracks at the end of each day. Well, tonight (tonight being 1 am) I finally went through and edited all the images and I'm excited to finally post most of them. I have some more to add from my point and shoot... maybe I'll do that tomorrow after our playdate :)

Anyway, here are the pictures, because I know that's the only reason half of you show up to read the blog anyway (right, dear husband?) ;)

We took a trip to Butterfly World, and Jake was in sensory overload!


We saw, literally, a bazillion butterflies! Some even landed on us!


And we saw colorful birds up close:


And we fed the fish:


There were geckos everywhere around Ralph's grandmother's home:




Jake loved playing in and around the pool. I liked seeing him in his oh-so-adorable floaty muscleman swim outfit! :)


He got so worn out at the pool one day that he fell asleep on the porch - mid-snack!


As we were packing to leave, he insisted on wearing my sun hat in the crib:


And here is one more adorable one of him on the plane, wearing his headphones and watching cartoons: (I'll spare you the details of the airsickness that came after this picture was taken - you can thank me later....)



We had a fun time and hope to make it a regular trip - it is the off-season for me (a good time to take a vacation), and Ralph has some clients he visits in the area, so it's a good reason to go. Thanks again to Mema Peggy for letting us stay at her place, and to Mema Mary who showed us a great time! :)
