Trip to Florida

My work sent me to Florida to work for a week.  I agreed to go...on one condition - Craig and Dawson could come along.  I worked all week, but Craig and Dawson spent some quality daddy-turkey time together playing in the hotel, playing on the beach, and going swimming a lot.  At night when I'd come home from work, we went out to dinner and ate lots of yummy seafood, had a picnic on the beach, and explored Florida.  Turkey did so good on the four hour flight to Florida.  We were so proud!  Both ways, the person sitting next to us commented on how good of a traveler he is!  Mommy...who is scared to death of flying was nervous on the flight a couple of times, but Turkey laughed a lot during the flight which eased my nerves (overall he did better than mommy on the flight ;)).  Overall it was a fun trip and we learned a lot of "dos an don'ts" of traveling with an infant.  As far as luggage...less is more!  You wouldn't believe the load we hauled with us to Florida.  We were actually getting stared at in the airport!  We were even asked by someone if we were moving!
Here is a summary of our trip in pictures:

Turkey and daddy.  First time Turkey saw the ocean!

Look at those waves mommy!  Can I go play?

Turkey lost his brand new water shoe in the ocean.  A wave came up and stole his shoe. 



Not happy because mommy said no to playing in the ocean by yourself.  :)  His nickname for the trip was "shark bait"

Picnic on the beach during sunset.  One of my favorite memories. 

Watching the sun go down and eating pizza :)

yep...we got a little mouthful of sand.  He decided he didn't like the taste of sand :)

Daddy buried me in the sand!  Silly daddy!

Mommy and Dawson crawling on the sand.

Dawson loved watching the waves come up and tickle his toes.

My little shark bait. 

All wet...time to go!
