Florida trip and Leaf Day

Florida in November, we could not complain especially since it was in the 70s and we were not far from water. Tucker and I decided to tag along with Brandon on his quarterly management meeting, but not without trepidation. This was Tucker's first flight and we were both very nervous about a) room on the plane and b) how he would react to take off and landing. All in all, he did very well however, we will not be flying again anytime soon with him. Despite having an open seat for Tucker, he still was not too happy about being confined on a plane nevertheless, in a tiny row. Two plus hours is just a little too much for a boy who never stops moving. Our saving grace, flash cards!!!

Once in Tampa Tucker and I had a good time. We visited the Lowry Park Zoo, which was a very nice zoo and very kid friendly, as well as a fun children's museum. The last day, Brandon did not have meetings so we made it to the beach. Tucker had a blast!!! He loved digging in the sand with shells and running in and out of the water.

What awaited us upon our return was a lawn FULL of leaves. Tucker had a fun time playing in the leaves while we labored over packing bag after bag of leaves! I like trees but HATE the fall when all of the leaves fall!!!
