Beach Days

Here we are in Florida! We found out upon arrival that we have wireless internet in our condo, so I won't have to wait until we're home to post pics and videos of our trip.

We are having a wonderful time here. The weather has been great: a few scattered thunderstorms but partly sunny and warm most of the time. We have an amazing view of the beach from our balcony so we spend a lot of time out there, eating meals or just relaxing with a book. Zach and I have gone out and played in the ocean every day just like a couple of kids--Austin's grandma and grandpa are more than willing to watch him while we're gone! Austin is such a people person...he smiles at everybody around him so he earns plenty of admiration and attention wherever we go. Not that we go many places, apart from dinner. This is a pretty low-key vacation, just a lot of reading, doing crosswords, spending time on the beach...whatever floats our boat.

Naturally, one of the highlights of the trip so far has been taking Austin to the beach for the first time. Take a look...






We expected a bit more of a reaction from Austin when we stuck him in the waves, but our little guy chose to just play it cool, didn't he? We assume the lack of crying means he liked it...Zach and I were reflecting on how Austin is never really excited by things, just people. One thing he did not like: having to take a bath when we got back to the condo when he was really just ready for a nap! Well, life on a beach vacation is just rough like that.

Here are some pictures of our little beach bum.
