Dear Andy,
I've been meaning to write this post for a week but things have been so busy with Aunt Sandy's wedding coming up in a few days. So here goes.
We got back from your second official vacation on Wednesday. You had such a good time. It was quite an improvement from last year, your first vacation, which was a class-A disaster. You hated it. We went to Asheville, NC and Folly Beach, SC and your poor little five month old self was teething and politically opposed to the car seat. It was not relaxing. You did find a few enjoyable moments here and there and really enjoyed the outdoor music at the Biltmore. Here you are on
vacation last year, taking a nap on the beach with Daddy:
Fast forward to this year. We went to Key West, which is Daddy's and my favorite place. It's a very fun and special place, with beautiful sunsets, perfect aqua blue water, tropical breezes and really good mojitos (don't worry about what those are right now. You call them "mamma's juice" ). Grandma and Grandaddy came with us and we had SUCH a good time. You swam in the pool and in the ocean and you seriously think you are a fish. You don't like to be constrained by floatation devices or parents trying to keep you from drowning yourself. I will try to sign you up for a swimming class soon, I promise. You sampled the local fare, including tahitian vanilla ice cream, cuban cheese bread and key lime pie. You made friends with everyone at our small hotel, and by the end of the week had the other visitors around the pool (adults mostly) copying your new favorite term "oh-ee-oh-eee-yo yo!" It was quite f
unny to watch. You were so well behaved in restaurants. You stayed up late and jumped on the bed and snuggled with me every morning. Truly a great trip. I hope we get to spend lots more time there. Here you are on this year's vacation enjoying "mojito monday".
