We had a most successful trip to Florida and can't wait to be moving there. Julia adored the beach and even put up with her parents busily running her from house to house trying to find the right place to call home. She's a trooper and such a good traveler. Of course on the way home she finally learned how to undo her seat belt in her carseat, not the best timing that. So there was a lot of "Put your seat belt back on!" and she would dutifully shrug her shoulders back into and reclip it. Until I turned around again that is!
Our conversation one night went something like this.
Julia " I want to go to Florida"
Mama " We are IN Florida"
Julia "In Florida? I like Florida"
Mama "We're thinking we might move here, would you like to move to Florida?"
Julia after a very thoughtful look and pause " Can we go to the beach?"
Mama --Laughing "Yes, if we live in Florida we can go to the beach"
Julia--jumping around the room "LIVE IN FLORIDA, LIVE IN FLORIDA!!!"
This child is too much. She showed absolutely no fear of the water and waves and would just laugh when they splashed over her. The sand on the beaches there is just awesome, but she couldn't be tempted to play in the sand, that meant getting out of the water. For my part, the white soft cool sand felt wonderful! I could definitely get used to it. :)
Just thought I'd give you a glimpse of our trip, more pictures are on dropshots and even pictures of the house we found. Yes we are in a pending contract to buy a house!! So exciting and nerve wracking, and every other emotion all rolled together!
