The Great Spring Break Adventure, Part 1

Since Alexa was turning 1 and getting baptized in the same weekend, a road trip to South Florida was in order. It's a little far to drive in one day, so we broke up the trip with a stop in Daytona on the way down. Here are some highlights from the first leg of the trip.


This was the scene when we first got to our hotel in Daytona, after a long day of riding in the car...

Good thing our hotel room was a suite with a kitchen - we had to improvise some bath toys.

On to Hollywood! The cousins immediately met up in Alexa's room to check out her toy stash and discuss their strategies for creating mass chaos.

Alexa and her chauffeurs.

"Enough! Let me out of here!"

Kisses for the birthday girl.

Who's ready for a birthday party? These girls!

It was a bubble party -- how fun!

Mason schooling Granddad on modern-day bubble-blowing techniques.

Avery terrorizing the adults with a bubble gun.

The birthday girl was not interested in her cake...

...so Mason offered to help.

Time for presents! Avery and Ronan showed Alexa how it's done.

Keeping occupied at the baptism.

Three little monkeys.

Waiting for the valet to bring us our car. So sad to leave!
