Great weekend!

Going back to work on Monday is really no fun, especially after a terrific weekend. Sigh... Yesterday was just one of those perfectly wonderful days, from first thing in the morning until after we hit the sheets and fell asleep. In the morning, Chrisots helped me around the house and then we went to the Children's Museum along with my dad - he had such a blast!

We are back from our vacation! We had such a wonderful time in beautiful Florida. We stayed at the gorgeous Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa, and had a nice room with a huge balcony overlooking the Atlantic ocean. It was so peaceful to sleep with the balcany doors open at night and hear the waves.... most importantly, though, was how incredible my son was on the trip. From the very beginning, he was a trooper!

Thank goodness, I have to say, for our portable DVD player and Mighty Machines - that kept him occupied for well over 30 minutes. When we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, we rented a car with a car seat, and thankfully, the car rental people installed the seat for us. Christos
