We are home after 9 days of travel to the sunshine state. We drove to Seaside, FL and rented a house with our friends, George and Mary and their kids Nick(or Nicken as we call him) and Andrew. We survived the drive there, with Owen's puking and all. Poor guy was sick when we picked him up in Kentucky. He rallied quickly to enjoy a great week of waves, snorkeling, digging in the sand, go karts, bumper cars, boogie boarding, skim boarding and napping on the beach.
We first met George and Mary at lamaze class when we were both pregnant with Nicken and Macie. We have become such good friends and were thrilled when they invited us to rent a house with them. It can be difficult to travel with other people because of expectations and routines but this couldn't have worked out better. We had a blast and with their free flying spirit we got to see lots of beaches and places that we wouldn't normally have seen.
We made the drive home in 13 hours, barely stopping for gas. Stew likes to get in the car and "get 'er done" so needless to say, the boys are forced to pee in a plastic bottle. Forced is really an overstatement, they actually think it's pretty cool. The girls and I are quite disgusted, but tolerate it so we can get where we need to go! We're just thankful he doesn't make us do the same! Other than Avery's many crying episodes and lack of napping in the car, the ride was pretty smooth. We were exhausted but thankful to be home in our own beds again.

Looks like you all had fun, we joked about peeing in a bottle but never actually did it. Where are Chase's teeth?!
