Florida Vacation Nearly Complete

Florida Vacation Part Two

Well it is now Sunday and I am sitting at Orlando International Airport at Gate 102 waiting for our 8:30 flight to Baltimore and then on to Manchester. It feels good to be connected to the rest of the world again. Since I last wrote we stayed with Jennifer's grandparents in Leesburg for a couple nights. They had never met Kaleb and were so excited to get to spend time with him. It turns out our timing for a vacation couldn't have been better because Kaleb has been walking now more than ever. It is now officially is preferred means of transportation. The transformation became apparent while in Leesburg, where he just walked everywhere. Its very exciting and so nice to be able to go walking somewhere outside and not having to carry him.

After Leesburg we drove all the way to the Atlantic side of Florida and spent the afternoon with Meme. She gave us a walking tour of the clubhouse and fed us a yummy chicken lunch with her classic mashed potatoes. Unfortunately we had only budgeted a few hours and had to head back towards Orlando to check in to the hotel right near the airport. We ordered room service for the first time which was really nice when compared to eating in a restaurant with a baby.

Now we are at the airport calmly waiting for our plane. In only a few hours we will be back up north.

Florida Vacation Part One

Hi all,

We have taken a quick break at Panera to recharge and upload some photos. Here is a link to the album:

Florida Vacation Part One

We have had a great time so far. Kaleb slept through most of the flight down and while awake was a very good boy. Port Orleans at Disney World was really great and such a change of pace, its amazing how it is like a different world. I went to the Rays game last night, which they won 5-3. We all went swimming yesterday and Kaleb was unsure about it the whole time, he didn't have a sad face or a happy face, just his timid look about the whole thing.

We are now off to Nanny and Papa's for a couple days in Leesburg and then will spend the afternoon with Meme before returning to the airport area on Saturday night.

Hope everybody is doing well.

Back to the Beach Again

Yep you guessed it we went to the beach again today, remember we have a big sandbox to fill and only one pail. Jamison and Megan drove up for a day of fun with Kaleb. We started by playing at our house for a while, Kaleb had just woken up from a nap so he was a bit shy at first. We then took the car and went down to the Salisbury Reservation. They two of them had a great time playing in the sand and trying to stay out of the water. Afterwards we drove over to Newburyport for lunch at "Not Your Average" Joe's. It was pretty good even if I did get a mango iced tea by accident.

Here are some photos from today:

Kaleb Sick Again

Yes its true, Kaleb is feeling under the weather again and sporting a sporadic fever. It started in the evening after I took him to the beach last week. So again he is a little fussy and downright miserable at times. Jennifer and I both think it is related to some more teeth coming in.

I started vacation yesterday, well sort of. Technically I don't have to work again until a week from Monday, but I have been doing some work today to help get a project out the door. After this though I will be done and enjoying my time off.

Time to finish up, I will have some photos up later.

Day at the Beach

My mom had to work Monday and Tuesday so I had to watch Kaleb. Yesterday was a pretty miserable day so we didn't do much, except for travel to Newburyport for lunch. Today, however, was a different story. It was sunny and in the upper 40's. So we went down to the beach to lay with Kaleb's new shovel and pail. He pretty much thought it was the best thing ever, he liked the sand not only playing with it, but also eating it. We wandered all over the place. We also stopped at Christy's on the way home and Kaleb got to have his first piece of beach pizza.

Overall it was an exhausting for me and Kaleb has been super tired too. I did have a great time with my boy and also got tons of good photos from the beach.

Kaleb continues to experiment with walking, but isn't using it as his primary means of travel.
