Vacation 2010

Our family (the four of us plus my Mom and Dad) are wrapping up our vacation. We rented a condo for 10 days in Daytona Beach Shores and we've had a great time! The condo is beautiful. It is nicely decorated and it's on the 9th floor in a corner unit so we have some great views of both the ocean and the inter-coastal waterway. Basically there is about 270 degree view or so. The kids have had fun here. Paleigh enjoyed the sand and water and Riley likes to dig in the sand and play in the pool and hot tub. We rode bikes down to the end of the island one day, rode bikes short distances other days, and took several walks. We ate at our favorite restaurants a few times. Tony and I even took Riley to lunch at the restaurant on the nearby pier (he called it a bridge). He liked eating up high and seeing out the windows. It has turned out to be a really great trip. Wish we could win the lottery and not have to return to work but that would require playing first at least! I can't believe that when we return it will be about a week and a half until my little girl turns one year old! I don't know where the time went but I do know that she didn't sleep the year away! She is still not a great sleeper - only sleeps through the night every other night or every third night. There hasn't been a single week in her entire life that she's slept through the night every night of the week. You do learn to survive but it is getting really old. I joked with my mother today that I hope she'll sleep through the night soon or else she'll be in kindergarten and we won't be able to go through the carpool line 'cause each day we'll have to walk her into school so we can tell the teacher what mood to expect her in based on how long she slept the night before! She is a great napper - usually at least one long nap a day, at least 3 hours long but it can go longer to 4 or 5 hours. In fact, almost every day on this trip she'll gotten in her 3 hour nap while someone waited in the room on her. She had one almost 5 hour nap this week and at least one 4 hour nap as well. Anyway, I hope everyone else had a great week 'cause we certainly did. Time to go, gotta get up early and finish packing. Until later....
