Vacation '09


We just got back from Tommy's first vacation! (well, a few weeks ago, but I am just now starting the blog)  We went to Ft. Myers Beach, FL, with Grandma and Grandpa Posey.   The plane ride was awesome, and everyone on the plane loved Tommy... the flight attendants even gave him a set of wings, a certificate, and a big hug!  What a ladies' man.  He had such a blast, minus the fact he had the flu for most of the trip.  He was such a trooper though!  He went through about 80 diapers over the course of 4 days, but we were spared diaper rash...whew!  He absolutely  loved beach.  He got to hang out in the cabana (on the days he could go down there) and even got to mix it up in the sand a bit.  He was very interested in the birds on the beach.  Grandma and Grandpa had fun, too, however, Grandma also got the flu!  But she was a trooper as well, and was able to hit the beach a few days and get a nice tan.  Grandpa and Nick drank about 100 Coronas, and got to golf, so they were happy.  And as for me, the trip was very re-energizing... nothing can compete with weather where you don't have to cover every inch of your body with clothing! (unlike here in bitter cold Chi-town) Although it was unseasonably cooler there according to the locals, I'll take the 60s and 70s over the negative temps any day!

  1. Miss you all! Sounds like Florida was very memorable- Tommy's such a stud :) We should send some of his pics to baby magazines- he really is quite a model in front of the camera!

    Can't wait to see him sitting and teething- how exciting!! Let's plan a date soon.
