Vacation, all I ever wanted....

Our first vacation of 2010 is just days away, yippee! We're heading back to Tampa (with Ed this time, but WITHOUT LAPTOP)! With a 10-day forecast of mid-80s and sun sun sun, we think it should be a perfect getaway.

Our plans include a visit to the brand new "Sesame Street Safari of Fun" at the Busch Gardens in Tampa. We're going to head out on a boat ride with Aunt Kim, Uncle Chris, and Ronan. We're going to hit the beach to show off those new swimming skills. And we are going to RELAX. Time for a jump start on that summer suntan! Hasta la vista!

Easter Fun

This was the first year we kinda actually "did" Easter, sort of, kinda, not really. Isabelle got to participate in her first Easter Egg Hunt at Selby Beach, our community association organizes it. She also got an Easter Basket (I wasn't going to do one but then got chastised by several friends so I had to make her one). We also cooked an Easter Ham. But we didn't make it to Mass...tsk tsk, I know. We're really going to start trying to get there in earnest starting next week (fo'real).

Because Isabelle's birthday is just a month before C'mas (which is kind of a bummer for a kid), we have decided that we'll do gifts for Easter every year. It's kind of the half-way point for her so we can get her some Spring-time gifts. Like this year, the tricycle. It would be kind of silly to get her a trike in November and make her wait 5 months to ride it, no? And I can't justify an expensive trike "just because".

We had beautiful weather this weekend, got to enjoy some beach time, and some good fun relaxing family time.
