Vacay

Robert, Maxwell and I took a little vacation last week to visit my parents in Naples, FL.  It was a great escape – the beach, bike rides, ice cream and even a bouncy house!  Maxwell loooooved getting to spend time with GJ and Daddo.  Every morning when he would wake up, the first question out of his mouth was “Where Daddo?” and it would continue all day long!  He loved to know where Daddo was…I’m sure that had nothing to do with the M&Ms that Daddo would slip him every time he saw him!  🙂

The only damper on the trip was the bits of sickness that spoiled some fun.  Robert woke up with a sinus infection Saturday morning but he got a Zpack and was feeling better pretty quickly.  Sickness also caused us to not get to see Keath, Jen, Delaney and Nate.  boo!  They were supposed to drive over Saturday to spend the night but Delaney was running a fever so no go.  Don’t know when we’ll get to see them next and I hate that.

Other than that, we had a GREAT time!  I took my camera down there with me and got it out the first day to snap some pics in the pool but that was it.  The rest of the weekend was captured on my iphone and, I have to say, it was really kind of nice not dealing with the camera all week long!  But, that means I’ve got a LOT of iphone pics to get through.  I’ll try to cut them down to a reasonable amount but no promises.

Don’t you just love looking at other people’s vacation photos??!  🙂  On with the show…

Someone was dressed in his red, white and blue on the 4th ready to get to the airport!

I’ll do a full travel post later but we took a car seat for the plane this time and it was a fantastic decision.  That along with my new ipad full of Grover movies and Maxwell was one happy camper!

When we got there, GJ had an awesome surprise for my hat-loving boy…a full selection of hero hats!  Fireman, hard hat, police…everything a little boy could want!  They were so funny to play with all weekend.  Maxwell kept pulling the visor down on the police one so it covered his eyes and nose and then saying “Where’d I go?”  funny boy.

The next morning we strapped Maxwell in for his first bike ride to the beach.  He LOVED this bike seat.  He kept saying “weeeee” as we were riding and was talking about riding the bikes all week long.

Doesn’t get much better!

This trip to the beach was much more successful than our last (and just as cute as our first!) Maxwell immediately walked to the water and wanted to get into the big “pool.”  He was playing in the sand and just loving every second.  Hooray!

I think that’s enough boring vacation photos for today.  Don’t worry – more boring vacation photos to come tomorrow!!  See you then!
