Florida February Part 2


We've been back in Charlotte for a week now and it's nice to be back to our "normal" but boy do we miss the faces (and sunshine) that are in Florida! We had such a great time visiting! Here's some more pictures of our time there.

Playing with Aunt Katie - notice the barbie :)

Katie and Kristin watched him for me so I could go to the bathroom - and I came back to this!!

Spending some time with buddy Reuben!

Sitting up in the bath like the biggest boy EVER!

We are planning on returning to Florida for Easter and are already counting down the days until our next visit! We definitely miss Florida and are grateful that Josh is such a good traveler so we can visit often!

Babymoon Staycation

Last week Jon and I spent a wonderful 9 days enjoying a "staycation" - a vacation where we stayed locally in Florida and did things that we've never done before here and things that are our favorites. It was so nice staying home instead of taking time and money to travel out of state somewhere. We slept in (well Jon slept in...baby Josh wakes Mommy up early to eat!), went to the beach, saw a couple movies, went to a comedy show, went bowling and putt putt golfing, explored Siesta Key and Winter Garden, and ate a LOT of amazing food. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely a great way to spend our last vacation as just the two of us. I'm looking forward to seeing how our vacations will change over the next few years! Here's some highlights from our time!

Saturday - 
Celebrated Star Wars day with Chick-Fil-A and Empire Strikes Back

Monday - 

We traveled to Siesta Key (about 2 hours away) for a day at the beach and explored St. Armand's Circle. We ate at one of my favorite places, Columbia, and celebrated making it to 28 weeks!

Joshua and Mommy at 28 weeks
Love this place!




Green straws and blue skies!






Such a yummy place!
Gotta stop for some ice cream!




Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we enjoyed some of our favorite local activities. We went to see Iron Man 3 (which Josh and daddy loved - it wasn't mommy's favorite), we went putt putt golfing at Disney, went out to breakfast, and went bowling. We had a ton of fun!


Putt Putt at Fantasia Gardens!

Daddy won...no surprise

Josh "helping" mommy sink her putt!

Beautiful day for golf!

Mommy's belly is the same size as a bowling ball!
He's so kind
He won at bowling too - but I got my revenge in the arcade!

Love me some skee ball!

My score
Jon's score :)



He's so tough



Friday
On Friday we went to see another movie (Oblivion - which mommy liked!) and then went to dinner and a show in Winter Garden!









Saturday
On Saturday we relaxed at the Farmer's Market and went to a wonderful dinner at Season's 52!

Sunday
On Mother's Day we went to church, Mommy took a nap, and we celebrated with my family. Always a good (and crazy!) time when we all get together!

Not so sure about these two
All of the kids on Mother's Day - we're so attractive

We had a wonderful vacation! Now we gotta wait for our little dude to arrive and then the REAL adventure begins!
