Marco Island

My mind is a little mushy after traveling with little ones, so I asked my daughter to share the highlights of our trip. She happily dictated this list of "best stuff."

So according to my 7 year old, the best things about our trip to Florida are:

• Getting snacks in little packages
• Walking through the rain, thunder, and lightning and getting very wet
• Going into new bathrooms (only a child would say this - lol)
• Flying on a plane
• Going through the metal detector
• Getting a new stuffed camel
• Getting lost and taking the wrong road
• Momma being silly
• Learning how to dive and swim underwater
• Eating crabs inside their exoskeletons (honestly, where does she get this stuff?)
• Watching TV in bed
• Staying up late with Daddy
• Taking a shower with soap shaped like seashells
• Getting stickers from the airport police
• Seeing the blue lights when the police talked to Mom (nothing major, I forgot to turn on the headlights in our rental car)
• Making new friends
• Collecting seashells
• Seeing dolphins
• Going to the bathroom on a boat (Not sure what it is she has about the bathrooms)
• The big water-slide
• Being able to swim every day
• Going in the big big big big house (our friend's parents invited us over for a visit)
• Getting to carry a key tall week by myself

From her description you would think that we spent most of our vacation in the airport, bathroom, and with the authorities. Sheesh. That's what I get for asking a 7 year old to do my journaling for me.

Aaah, vacation!
