Beach Bum

We spent our first family vacation on Captiva Island, Florida. It was a great 4 days and we wish we could have stayed longer!

Tommy was a great traveler - we're hoping he continues to be one.


















Tommy literally dug right in to the sand. He also took a big taste of some sand, but decided he didn't like it and didn't try again.
















Tommy wasn't interested in the pool - we think because the water was fairly cool. He loved the beach - absolutely loved it. He ran up and down, up and down, tried to chase birds, and watched all the other kids on the beach.













We spent Monday morning with a couple we met en route to VietNam - they live in Florida and picked us up on their boat. Tommy did great except for about 2 minutes before this picture was taken - he lost his lunch all over Mommy! Fun!










Our last night in Florida - waiting to sit down to dinner at the Mucky Duck.
















It's hard to see, but Tommy is showing his tongue - a fun new game he's learned. He seemed to enjoy the Florida lifestyle and said he wishes his grandparents lived there so he could visit more often!

Our vacation was just enough to get us through these last weeks of winter......I think!
