Ireland Trip Photos

We had such a great time!  It was a real treat for us to be together as a family for 10 days in a row.  I have put together a movie with captions of our photos from Ireland.  Unfortunately, it is too big to upload anywhere on the web.  So I had to settle with uploading the pictures onto Snapfish and haven't had time to add any captions yet.  Below is a link to the pictures.  Guess you will have to come visit to view the movie and hear about the details!

Florida - Part II

It's so sad to be home.  We got used to our beach/pool routine last week and, especially, having Ryan around. 

During the trip, Taylor made some significant progress on her swimming skills.  She now "jumps" off the side of the pool (See video) and can go underwater back and forth between Ryan and I.  No fear here!


Lunch at George's - our favorite spot in FL.  Burger and grouper tacos - yum!

So happy to be here!

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!

Babymoon

We had a great trip to Punta Mita. Can't believe it's already over and I have to give my husband back to work again!!! As far as the baby goes, Ryan got to feel her move when we were there which was pretty cool.

The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was our favorite spot. Every 40 minutes or so the attendants would bring by cold towels or a treat, which I really enjoyed. That's Ryan in the pool.



View from our balcony and Ryan loving the house shoes that come in the room.



Ryan played golf at the resort and it was fabulous! I'm so glad I came along for the ride because the course was absolutely beautiful.



In case you were wondering how he played, I've attached a few videos. The hole over the water is called the "Tail of the Whale" and we rode a golf cart that turned into a boat over to the island green. It was so fun! Sorry, I do not know how to splice these together so I had to attached each segment.





Dinner on the beach at sunset.




Dinner at Ketsi (some of the best cheese enchiladas I've ever had) and final night out to the St. Regis.



And, finally, a rare belly shot for those that want a progress update!
