Vacation for you! Vacation for mommy and daddy??

The thought of taking you across the country and out of the country caused us to worry. You are an active crawling boy and to have you on the plane all day sent thoughts of dread to us. After reading many articles about appropriate and easy to carry on toys I had my emergency toy bag packed. In that bag was not only toys but your favorite snacks: blueberries, string cheese, apples and mum mums. Your dad and I were expecting the worst, with 2 good reasons: 1) you love to take naps in your crib, not in our arms and 2) you are a mover and an explorer. On flying day you surprised us by being an interested passenger. You loved the window shades, food, and all the people that smiled and talked to you. You managed to only sleep 45 minutes, but while you were awake you were such a delight.

We arrived to Ft. Lauderdale at 11 p.m. The next morning we had some time to take you to the ocean. I think you were a little nervous about the immense sea. Dad tried to dip your feet in, but you resisted.
                                          Here's the view from our hotel.  Both of us very happy feeling the warmth of the     sun!

                                          Oh boy!  You didn't even want to look at the water.

 That day we boarded the cruise ship that would take us to the Bahamas.

The next day we arrived in Grand Bahama Island. This was your paradise.  You feel in love with the hot weather and the calm turquoise ocean with the powder like sand.  You played hard and slept well.  You woke up happy with only one thing on your mind (and no it wasn't food) you wanted to go swimming.
After being in the Bahamas we came back to Ft. Lauderdale where you met your abuelo Gil y Pati.  They were so happy to meet you.  Pati knitted you a beautiful blanket and abuelo Gil wanted only to kiss and hold you.
