Spring Break Fever

My first hotel stay on my first road trip...I can get used to this!

Our first "pit" stop and some diaper changes

My first Easter bunny picture and I slept through it!

Go Butler Bulldogs!

My first time on the beach...the ocean was cold!

Wish my Daddy was here

I love my cousins!

My first time in the pool...not too bad

Ahh...the life of a baby!

My mom and I got a hole in one!

-Brooks and I went to Sanibel, FL on spring break with my family. It as so nice to get away from the everyday routine (or no routine) of reality. My mom, dad, Brooks and I drove...yes drove...21 hours to get there. Brooks was a traveling champ! We only stopped 3 times the first 12 hour day and 2 times the 9 hour day. Not too bad! Thanks to my mom for entertaining him in the back and my dad for navigating...we made it there with all our hair! He was just as good on the way home.

-We stayed in a condo with my parents and my sister Tara's family. They were all such a great help with Brooks. I got to go bike riding and kayaking with my sister and family while grandma watched Brooks. No laying out for me...but nursing him on the beach under the umbrella was so relaxing. We had great weather and food. It was so special to me to spend that time with my family. It had been years since I went on vacation with them. We hope it is a start of new traditions for Brooks....spring break with Grandma and Grandpa McCarroll and family. Josh was not able to make it because this is the busiest time of year at work for him. We missed him so much!!

-Brooks had many firsts on the trip: first hotel room stay, road trip, swimming pool, bathing suit, beach, ocean, Easter, put put
