Happy Birthday Dabi! I helped blow out the "decade" candles on Dabi's cake.

In case it's not obvious, I made the hats myself!

This weekend, Anderson and I spent a day with Alexis and Charlotte in Baltimore at the Port Discovery Children's Museum. We all had a great time, except for my dad who was home sick.

Roadtrip!!! We DROVE to Florida (and back) this week. We had a wondful time visiting family all over the Eastern Seaboard. After a night visiting cousins EmmaLeigh, Cooper and Claire in North Carolina, we spent a couple days with G.G. G.G. is our Great Grandmother - that's our dad's father's mother. This was Anderson's first time meeting our family in Florida - all of whom used to live in Connecticut where it's about 50 degrees colder.

While at G.G.'s we took a quick trip down to Daytona Beach - about five minutes from her house. This was my second trip to Daytona and Anderson's first.

Mom and I took a walk down by the surf.

We couldn't drive down I-4 without stopping to see Shamu and friends at SeaWorld. Talk about thrilling!

We ate at the Shark Restaurant! It was the coolest place ever. That's an actual shark swimming right by me!

We visted Great Aunt Gail and Great Uncle Clint at their Villa on a golf course in Central Florida. They have their own golf cart! They also have a lanai with more toys than Santa's workshop!

Great Uncle Clint explained to Anderson how to take the slice out of his drives by keeping his backswing to the inside. My dad got a golf lesson too, and he says he going to clobber Dabi at Broad Run this summer.

The world's best strawberry shortcake is made just a few miles from Clint and Gail's house. There were about 100 people waiting in line in the middle of the day on Wedsnesday. I ate my weight in strawberries! My mom and dad didn't do too bad either.

After seeing Great Uncle Clint and Great Aunt Gail, we drove to the Gulf Coast to visit Jeri and Papa. Hommie and Dabi visited for a few hours too. We made the best orange juice ever with oranges from Papa and Jeri's backyard. I picked the oranges all by myself - with a vertical assist from Jeri.

Making freshly squeezed orange juice requires major coordination. Jeri cut the oranges, Papa ran the orange squeezer and I sampled a little bit of everthing.

Anderson spent some time chatting with Papa - our Great-Grandfather in Tampa. That's Daddy's Mommy's Daddy.

On the way down and back from Florida we stopped to see Uncle Leigh, Aunt Elizabeth, EmmaLeigh, Cooper and Claire. Grandad and Grandma Ann stopped by too!
