Florida in March

In preparation for time on the beach, Nora spent the day before we left for Florida digging in the dirt near our house.

After surviving a 4 hour flight to Orlando, we lucked out and had an extra seat for Nora during the 30 minute flight to Ft. Myers. We all enjoyed a little extra personal space!
Once arriving, we quickly settled into a routine of going to the beach in the morning then back to the house for naptime and a dip in the pool (followed by happy hour of course). Once again, Nora loved the beach, the ocean, the pool and all the extra attention from Grandma (Nanny), Grandpa (Papa), Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. We had fantastic weather in the 80s every day!
Our first morning on Sanibel Island.

This picture is out of order, it was actually taken within 30 min of arriving at the house. We headed to the pool immediately!


Nora didn't build this structure but did a great job of tearing it down.

Jeff and I left for 2 days and took a boat to Key West. It was a nice little getaway, and Nanny and Papa did some fun things with Nora. Unfortunately, I can't get seem to get any of those photos to post here, but maybe I'll be able to do a seperate post later with those pictures.


My grandparents, Nora's great-grandparents arrived partway through our visit. Great Grandma and Nora combed for shells.

This day, Nora just couldn't make it home before falling asleep.

But she rebounded after a catnap!

Nora liked jumping into the water. Well, I guess it was more of a lean...
Before dashing off to the airport, we snapped a few pictures.



At the airport, Nora pranced around with her purse and milk looking cute as ever.

We're already looking forward to our next trip to Ft. Myers next year, the week when so fast!
