Just wanted to say "Happy 4th" to all. We have been here in Fla. for about 2 weeks now and getting ready to head home. It's been great! We have done sooooo much. Sonie also came and spent 3 days with Me, Victor, Mom, Meredith and Sam. It was great to have her here.
We started out our time together here with a WONDERFUL spa day! The"girls" went and had a Swedish hot stones massage....talk about relaxing! Meredith and Sonie got into the pool at the spa with their wine. Nana and I sat inside with our drinks just takin' it easy.
We then wandered down the main drag to the beach side tavern and had more drinks and lunch.
We made it back for Papa to go back to work.....he stayed here to be with Sam.
Beach time and pool time are always fun and relaxing too. Did a bit of shopping and then, sorry to say, Sonie headed back to Ky.
Meredith and I took the day to Orlando to Sea World. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! Sam was in another world!!! He most likely thought he was back at the Louisville Zoo, but hey, "different animals" here.
We started out there with breakfast with Elmo and friends. He loved every character, except Bert. He gave all of them hugs and even a kiss to Elmo. Later in the afternoon we headed over to the main aquarium to see the big Killer Whale show, Shamu. It was totally awesome! I was disappointed when it was over. O.K., all of you who know that I am not the biggest animal lover, yes, I did love this show. After a long and very HOT day we headed back to New Smyrna. Nana was here for the day by herself and did fine. Victor came home early to check on her and we made several calls throughout the day.
We've been to many of our favorite restaurants, grilled out, watched movies, prayed, shopped, and did I say a drink or two? All in all, it has been such good fun together. I will miss Sam so much when I return home and then back here again for a while with the Beeler clan. Sam has stuck to Meredith like glue here. I believe it is his age and just a phase he is going through. Every now and then he remembers, "ok, it's Mamo, she's ok" and let's me play with him or take him in the car with me. Mama's boy for sure!
Tonight we ended our day watching the fireworks from the beach on our bedroom balcony. I've never seen a baby be so excited about the fireworks. He came in and gave us all kisses goodnight and off to bed. Tomorrow we will be busy getting the place clean and getting ready to head home. I know that Joe is just dying to see Sam and Meredith. It's been tough for him. We miss you Joe. We will have fun together here after Christmas.
Wish I had pix to post but I walked out and left my camera at home....silly. Meredith will post pix on her blog when she gets back.
Happy 4th!!!! Thank you Lord for our freedom.
