Mother's Day - Ritz Sarasota

For Mother's Day this year, Daddy took us to the Ritz in Sarasota for the weekend. We had so much fun relaxing and getting pampered all weekend. It was a perfect little get away, sitting poolside at their beach club, playing on the beach and walking around St. Armands Circle.

Going into the ocean for the first time with Daddy.

Just too Cute

First Time at Busch Gardens

Today we took you to Busch Garden's for the first time. Chris (aka Sandy), daddy's suite-mate while living in Fontana Hall during his college days, and his girlfriend Sandra came down from New York to visit.

Favorite Saturday Event

On Saturdays, during the warmer months, our favorite thing to do is to take you to the park to play in the sand and then on to the pool for some swimming and pizza (poolside).

Happy 2nd Birthday !!

We celebrated your 2nd Birthday at Noah's Ark Animal Farm. Complete with goat petting, pigs, horses, donkeys, bunnies, tortoise, ducks, pony rides and hay rides. This was definitely some birthday party.
