No Pictures to Post

A photo of the pool and beach at the Ocean Reef Club

We got back from Key Largo last night. We had such a good time. The weather was beautiful and both Andy and I came back with sunburns...Drew on the other hand is still white as a ghost. The flight there was great, we had to sit on the plane for 40 minutes for de-icing, but luckily we got off early enough that the snow didn't really affect us. We did a lot of entertaining Drew and feeding him and he only got a little restless when he wanted to take a nap. He slept for about an hour on the flight.
Once there, we went to the beach and the pool and had so much fun chasing him around in the sand. But, the reason I have no pictures to post is because the "other camera" had a little catastrophie. Poppy and Daddy were walking with Drew and I was taking pictures. We were at the edge of the water and cousin Sam was in the water kayacking with a new friend. Sam and his friend flipped their kayack and we were all watching to make sure they were ok when Drew decided to RUN and dive into the water. I screamed and ran in after him camera and all. He was fine, but the camera didn't fare so well. I think I can save the photos already taken, but we only got a few.
We stayed in a hotel and Drew did pretty good sleeping in the pack-n-play. We had to bring him into our bed a few times, but for most of the trip he napped and slept in the crib. Poor Andy was pushed out of bed twice by Drew rolling over in his sleep. Drew had so much fun watching his cousins, they really did a great job entertaining him. We went out for ice cream one night after dinner and it was way past his bedtime, but the combination of raspberry sorbet and his cousins running around and making him laugh caused Drew to laugh harder than I have ever seen.
I have to admit, I never thought that I could have so much fun on vacation chasing a baby around. I always thought that I would miss lounging on the beach, reading magazines, going to the spa or out for drinks. Don't get me wrong, I still find those things enjoyable but watching Drew have so much fun was better than any of that.
The flight home was a little different. Drew was exhausted and couldn't settle in for a nap. Luckily we were in the last row and didn't disturb too many people. He finally slept for the last 1/2 hour of the flight, but he wasn't happy when he had to get back into his carseat and into the car. We left for the airport at 10AM for a 2PM flight (2 hour drive to the airport) and then 3 hours on the plane and then 1 hour home - I really don't blame him for being upset. When we got home and saw Lucy and all of his toys he was sooo happy. He hugged Lucy tons and pulled out all of his toys to play with. Finally at 8:00 we got him to bed. I think we are going to have to make up lots of sleep over the next few days.
We are so glad that we went even if it was only a few days we really had a blast. Hopefully, I will get the pictures downloaded and will be able to post some soon.
