Florida Day 1 and 2

Florida! The week we have been talking about for a year has arrived.

 

We started our vacation with a lesson learned. We thought we would take an early flight out of MN and get there early enough to enjoy the whole day. Sounded great in theory, but we couldn’t get into our hotel until 4. That makes for many hours in the heat in clothes more appropriate for tundra-type weather. Kind-of miserable. Next year we won’t take such an early flight.

The first day was spent swimming, and we went to Carbbara’s for supper. Connor had hit a wall. His stomach hurt, he was miserable and sat on my lap most of dinner. He never does that so you know he wasn’t feeling well. Connor will go all day without food and then become tired, sluggish, and have no energy. It’s like he can’t tell when he’s hungry. He had gone all day with just a snack here and there and was so miserable. He was slightly better after eating some, but he just needed bed. We all did!

Day two was spent at the pool. We played in the water for 4 hours at least. I finished my book and we ate lunch pool-side.

 

 

 

 

That night we had tickets for the Twins vs. Red Sox game. It was at Boston’s stadium, they also train in Ft Myers. We were excited to go to a night game and to see Morneau back in action. He only DHed that game, but it was still good to see him. The game didn’t go so well with the Twins behind by 5 runs. The second-string came in by inning 7 and we decided to leave. Imagine our surprise while watching the news later to find out they pulled out a win with a 6 run come-back in the 9th inning! That’s what we get for leaving early!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have already had to go out and purchase more sun screen. It’s like you can’t put it on enough times. We all got a little burnt even with multiple applications.

Having a blast! Not coming home. Scoping out houses and jobs. Anyone need a 6th grade teaching job in the tundra?
