Florida. part 1

On July 27th, Elliot and I took our annual trip to Florida to see my family and friends. Elliot and I (and baby boy) shared a plane seat going down there. Elliot actually did really well! We flew through her nap time so she was mostly just tired and wanted to read her new books.We were greeted by my ecstatic mom and headed east to the beach where my parents live.After getting Elliot checked out all her new toys at Nana and Grandpa's house, we took a quick swim in the pool. I forgot how nice it is to have a pool right in your backyard!!

The next day Elliot felt awful :( We think she might be allergic to the cat...sorry baby girl, not kitties in your future. We decided that some fresh salt air might due the trick, so my mom and I took her to the beach! She did not like the loose sand and enjoyed picking up the rocks, not the seashells (because that's what she collects at home, it's what she knows). Elliot is also recently fascinated with her shadow. She says hi to it whenever we are at home, but she could not understand why her shadow was at the beach!!

That day we went to visit my friend Jessica and brought over lunch from my favorite burrito place, Dakine Diegos! And then Elliot and I took it easy at my parents' the rest of the day. That night I got together with my dearest friends Kim, Jackie, Alexis, Jessica, and Leah!! We ate dinner, caught up, and played games. I stayed out until 12:30 am!!! I know! The last time that happened was before Elliot was born!

On Sunday, Elliot felt better, so we loaded up the car with beach gear and headed over to the beach for the morning. Again, she wasn't too sure about it, but after playing with her beach toys and taking brave trips down to the water with Nana, she was a regular beach baby :)

Part 2, coming soon :)
