Andrina's Vote

Tonight as Andrina and I were cuddling before bed she told me, "you're the best mommy in the whole world". AAAAWWWWWWWWWW! Now if only Mommy could get back on track with blogging...

Swim Lessons

Andrina had her first swim lesson this morning. Just 3 days after the L O N G drive back from Orlando. I hope she will know how to swim by the end of the summer!

Georgia to Flordia...wait, that's it?

We are finally in Florida! I think I felt over-accomplished the first day of driving. We were able to make it from Illinois all way through Indiana and halfway through Kentucky. Then the next day all the way through the mountains of Tennessee and about 120 miles into Georgia. Today felt somewhat like a downer. Georgia is such a big state to drive all the way though. It felt so good to finally be out of there. No offense to Georgia, I am just feeling relieved that being done with driving though it feels like so much more has been accomplished. So nice and HOT here in Flordia. Again, an outdoor pool which Andrina and I enjoyed! Tomorrow it will be DISNEY WORLD!

Kentucky to Georgia

Our second day of driving. We are stopped for the night just south of Atlanta. It is so nice and HOT here! You know you are really far from Chicago when the hotel pool is an outdoor one instead of an indoor one! Andrina is, of course, very excited, to be on the way to Disney World but after the long day of driving, she was happy to just play in the pool with Momma. We were actually the only ones in it too which was nice.

Our Road Trip Begins!

The 3 of us left for our first family vacation today. Which is also our first road trip. 1208 from Chicago to Orlando! We drove over 400 miles today and are stopped for the night in Kentucky. I don't think I will be taking any pictures until we get to, or are much closer to, our final destination in Disney World. It is not easy driving so far with a small child with 2 weeks worth of luggage!

Happy St. Patty's Day 2011

Tom says that Andrina looks like a Celtic dancer in the picture.  I think he's right!
