I guess this post should really be titled "break from winter". It has been so nice spending the week in Florida...enjoying the sun, some great family time, and visiting some dear friends!
Harrison was a champ on the flights despite not being ideal travel conditions...5:45am flight with a connection. He was easily entertained and ended up sleeping most of the second leg.
We spent the first few nights with the Pung family. Stacie and I have been friends since we were 6 years old. Her husband Jorn is a major in the US Army and currently station at Central Command in Tampa. A perfect excuse for a visit! They are two daughters Kaylin (4) and Lauren (2) who are Harrison's new best friends!
I think we were not even there an hour before Harrison jumped in the pool with K!
Even though the Pungs do not live on base, we still went to the base to utilize their beach for a picnic and some fun in the sand!
Our little beach dude!
Matt did some modeling of Jorn's combat gear.
Monday we headed to the zoo! The weather was beautiful and the zoo allowed for a lot of interactions with the animals.
K was patient enough to stay still for a bird to land on her and eat directly from her hand. (Harrison...not so much!)
He did get to feed the giraffe though and thought it was pretty cool!
He was also very gentle with at the petty zoo and there was not a repeat of the "Goat incident from April of 2010".
We didn't make it to Disney this trip but the rides at the zoo were a close second.
Stacie arranged for a babysitter so we could go out and celebrate our birthdays. Matt was lucky enough to be the date for the two birthday girls because Jorn had to go to Pakistan (I know...likely excuse!) We went to the oldest restaurant in Florida for Paella and a Flamenco show. A fun night out!
More to come.....
