Final Days in Florida, the Beach

On Sunday the 18th we headed to Cocoa Beach for 2 days. We arrived, went to Starbucks until our room was ready, and then headed straight for the beach.

this kid LOVES the beach

These lovely idiots were unloading tvs at 7:35am, which is 4:35 for us since we didn't switch to east coast time. We did not pay for our room that day.

On our last night the girl who went to bed late and woke every morning at 5 (or earlier) while battling a cold fell asleep watching Star Wars.

We had to wake her for dinner and she was NOT pleased. Poor baby.

gator!

After that we headed to the airport where we entered the rental car return with a kid who had been yelling for 5 minutes that she needed to go potty. I had to carry her up 2 escalators and across a terminal before finding a bathroom and returning to help Steve carry luggage. FUN! She was an angel on the flight, again. We played in a store at the airport then got on the plane where she played ipad for 4 hours. Then I told her it was time to go to sleep, so I read her a story and sang to her and she was out. She slept through the landing, being carried to baggage claim, being set in her stroller, being wheeled out to the garage, being put into the taxi, and only woke (briefly) when we got home. The next morning she had no recollection of getting home, or how we forgot to bring keys with us and Steve had to break in her bedroom window to get in the house. What a great trip with a great little traveler.
