Some people say we are crazy. They might be right. We decided to take Ellie to Justin's Continuing Legal Education seminar in Florida this summer. I refused to take her on an airplane because I did not want to be one of "those" people who have a screaming baby the whole flight. So we drove. It was a ten hour drive. We got up at 2:00 in the morning and were on the road by 3:30 am. Our plan worked marvelously, as she slept almost the whole way. The only problem was that we were completely exhausted. You might be thinking, "yeah, but you were at the beach." Hardly. I spent the majority of the time in the hotel room feeding Ellie and hanging out while she took her naps. We ventured out mainly during mealtime for mommy. We went to the pool one day when it was cloudy and cool, but the water was too cold. Our lovely dinners were spent as usual, taking turns holding Ellie while the other got to eat. For me it was not a vacation, but it was nice to be somewhere different for awhile. My pictures didn't even turn out very well, but here are a few snapshots. I don't know why the video is pink, but I thought it was cute anyway.

Sounds like real life!
You are cracking me up about the air plane. We were one of those people heading to NYC when Caroline was 2, but she was throwing up...boy, that was fun....oh well...we have flown since then & they both have done great.
She is darling and looks like such a happy baby!
Hope you are doing well.
