Spring Break

Reese, Dana and I just arrived home after taking a week-long family vacation. We had some wind and rain a few of the days, but it was still so nice just to have quality (and quantity) time together.

We split our time between the Westin in Hollywood, Florida and the Sheraton in Ft. Lauderdale. They were both on the beach and quite nice.


The best part was that it was Reese's first time in a pool, and first time at the beach. We loved introducing her to the water and sand. We took so many adorable swimsuits for her - she was quite the fashionista on this trip!



She LOVED splashing around in the pool, but didn't seem to really grasp the idea of the sand - she was more excited by pulling Dad's hair. It will be interesting to see how she reacts next time we visit the beach and she's a bit older.

A friend recommended that we buy this little kid's sun tent for her and it was the best purchase ever! She played for hours while we read and relaxed and enjoyed a doubly perfect view of the ocean and our sweet daughter.


Another friend gifted us this travel tub that was shaped like a duck (and quacked like one too!) Reese laughed hysterically every time we made it quack.


We were also pleasantly surprised at the incredible restaurants we found in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. We ate and ate and ate! The food was soooo good. A few of our favorites: Michael's Genuine, Market 17, Il Mercado, The Dinner Place.
