FLA wrap-up

We got back from our Floridian adventure on Sunday night. The flight back was great - miss Evy slept for well over an hour. Once we landed, things didn't go quite so smoothly. The train between terminals 1 and 3 was broken, so we had to take a bus (along with the stroller, car seat, and 6 bags!). Then, Rob couldn't quite remember where he'd parked the car, but we did find it easily in the end. THEN, the normally efficient and organized Mr Jackson couldn't find the ticket to get out of the parking garage. (It was sneakily hiding in the car ashtray). Anyhoo, all that palaver took about 3 hours, so we were weary when we finally got home.

I've gotta say, we were feeling pretty smug to see patches of snow still on the ground when we landed! The weather the last 5 days or so in Florida was absolutely beautiful. (We'd had a bit of rain before that). We're really glad that we missed the last blizzard of the season, and are looking forward to Spring and some warm weather here.

We had a great trip, and loved having our friends Tanya and Jordan there too. They were a great help with Evy, and were pure entertainment and comedians for the whole week. There were lots and lots of laughs.

Miss E was pretty good too. She's still waking up 2 or 3 times a night, which is hard, but, she was in great spirits during the day, and was even in a good mood when her top tooth was coming in. And, she decided to amaze us all by crawling for the first time! (She waited until we were on the beach to dazzle us! She's gotta do everything with style, of course!)

Here are a few pics of the adventure:
