SK 2010 - We've Arrived!

My plan was to leave our hotel Saturday morning around 7 AM, but Luke was still sound asleep. He started coughing and sneezing in the car the day before and his nose was pretty runny so I thought it was best to just let him sleep and hope we can fight off the cold. He finally woke up around 7:30, we showered, enjoyed some continental breakfast, and were on the road again by 8:45. Around 11 AM, Luke was asking to get out so I had to quickly distract him. He fell asleep about 11:45, but unfortunately we needed to get gas at about 12:30. We were hoping to get some gas, pick up some Taco Bell to go, and then just give him that when he woke up. But, as we all do, as soon as we exited the highway and slowed down he woke up. So it turned into a short nap and we decided to just get out and eat there.

Luke did great in the final stretch and we arrived at the condo around 3:30! We got ourselves settled there and then headed over to Siesta Village to check it out. The Village is full of different restaurants, beach shops, and an ice cream shop (of course!). We grabbed some dinner down there and then I was so excited to take Luke to the beach that night!

This was the look we got the first time he stepped in the sand. Luke has never really played in sand before so this was all new to him!

As you can see, he wasn't liking it too much at first!

Daddy showed him it was ok to touch...

and then Luke touched it too!

By the time we got down closer to the water, he was having no problem with the sand!

or the water!

He was LOVING it!!!

A little Baywatch :)

He really showed no fear - both exciting and scary!

He was very sad when we had to leave for the night. We promised he would be back everyday for the next 6 days!

Once he said "bye bye" to the ocean everything was better! (Yes, we and he call it the ocean. We know it is The Gulf, but who doesn't just call it the ocean!)

We called it a night at the beach. We headed back where Luke was pretty much done for the night so Wally stuck around with him while I made our grocery run for the week! We've finally arrived and have 6 full days of nothing but fun in the sun!
