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!

Wow! What a great vacation. I do believe the next time you go you will need a "nanny Nana" to help you with all that fun.
I love these photos. I have checked them out so many times I am beginning to feel like I went on vacation with you. Seriously, what a great vacation.
