Florida - Part I

We made it!  And we love it here.  Taylor was a great traveler on the 10+hour drive.  We hit a great lunch spot on the way in Gulfport called Blow Fly Inn (written up in Southern Living's best seafood dives and featured on Food Network's Dine-ins, Drive-ins and Dives).  Great fried green tomatoes and crab cakes!  Now that we are in Alys Beach our daily routine goes something like wake-up, walk to get a pastry at the Fonville Press, hit the beach for a swim, morning naptime, lunch and then hit the Caliza Pool in the afternoon. 

Blow Fly Inn - Yum-O

Beach Day 1

Taylor had no fear of the ocean.  That girl loves to swim.

Swimming with Dad at the Caliza Pool.  Fabulous!

Ryan and Taylor - happy hour in the pool

Beach Day 2 - Loving the sun!

Music Class

Music class with Taylor is hilarious.  Ryan and I believe she is a quite more extroverted than her parents.  She is constantly banging the drum or shaking her music maker to get the attention of the other kids in the class.  She's even stolen a few instruments directly from her neighbors little hands (It's a shame they didn't even notice.).  However, in four weeks she has mastered the shaker and the drum and already recognizes her favorite songs.  I think I even heard her try to sing a few notes in the last class.

July Photo Shoot
