Florida

We left for Florida on May 23rd. It was a little bittersweet for me because it was my last week of maternity leave, but we had a fabulous time! We drove there in two days and made it back in one. Caroline was such a trooper. She would sleep for 2-3 hours and then wake up to feed and change her diaper and we tried to coordinate that with gas or food stops. We were planning on stopping in Memphis on the way back, but each time we got to a major city she was doing so well, we just kept on going! We got back around 11:00 p.m. on Sat and were so glad to have Sun to relax and unpack.

We had a horseshoe tournament that we had to dress up for and it was hilarious! Mike and I were Dog and Beth from Dog the bounty hunter, mom was a gangsta, alix was a cave girl, dad was mr. miss-match, tyler was a hillbilly and evan was a revolutionary soldier. Evan's costume was very impressive, but a little too hot for the florida heat! Mr. miss-match faced Dog in the finals and mr. miss-match came away with the win. It was so funny, especially when Dog "arrested" the hillbilly on the side of the road and the soldier and cave girl went for a walk. People probably thought we were crazy!
We all really enjoyed relaxing on the beach and balcony, fishing, swimming, playing poker and spending time together. Caroline loved being spoiled by everyone!
