A Mini Babymoon!

My Mom has wonderful friends!!! One of her friends was unable to use their Daytona Beach timeshare and offered it to them, but my parents were busy the beginning part of the week and offered it to us!!! A free place to stay at Daytona, how could we say no???

We arrived on Sunday to our room not being ready which we figured it wouldn't be, but we wanted to make sure we got an ocean front room. So while we waited we headed out to the pool to watch the Wings and Waves Air Show! The beach was PACKED!! I haven't seen it that busy ever! One of the coolest planes was the Jet. It went up so high that we couldn't see it anymore and would freefall down! Then it would zoom across the beachfront. It was extremely loud, but awesome to feel/hear/see the power of a jet! Little Lion and I enjoying the show when I wasn't covering his ears because of the jet. Then the 9 plane synchronized group came out. They were amazing and totally together! LL liked that they made "clouds" even a heart with 4 planes doing one side and 5 doing the other.
Just as the show ended our room was ready. Here is our view from the 8th floor. We spent the next couple of hours in the pool and then headed to Bubba Gumps for dinner which LL called it "Bubble Gums" ;)

The next morning, LL kept waking up from 5am on asking to put his suit on. He was anxious to get to the beach! The sunrise was gorgeous!! We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. Even Monkey got in on the action ;)
We went down to the pool and beach for the morning.

Flower Power couldn't miss out on the action either!! (Sorry if this offends...big belly ahead!) We headed up to the room to get ready to go to Boondocks for lunch. Here is LL jamming on his new guitar.At Boondocks you can feed the catfish! LL really enjoyed feeding them french fries (yes they said you could!) while he meowed..haha! It was just like our tarpon feeding in the Keys with catfish jumping and literally on top of each other vying for french fries.
After naps for all, we went back to the beach. I love the pictures where the boys shadows are in color because of the ocean water!

The sunlight was perfect. I thought we should take some 30 week maternity pictures of FP. Here's the best we got. LL really just wanted to play in the ocean not take pictures :)

And you can't forget about the Love Birds :)

It's kind of sad to think that this will most likely be our last vacation as a family of three. However, I know our family of 4 will have MANY, MANY more vacations ahead of us to make wonderful memories together!
