We had the best trip! I wish we had the whole family there, missing them was the only bad part of the week. The rest was just plain delightful.
The Guncles even drove down from Jacksonville to visit.
We were celebrating the Hippy Chick's graduation from nursing school, and the guys joined us for dinner on the pier in Cocoa Beach.
Guncle Randy surprised Sugarwings with a pink rose, which in her mind, instantly turned her into a fairy tale princess, and she had to go lay down on the floor with it on her chest, awaiting her prince to bring true love's kiss to wake her up. This reaction is pretty common with her, for many items. When biting into a carmel apple at Disney World, she collapsed in a dramatic swoon.
I'd never stayed at Cocoa Beach before. We chose to be there a few days before our Disney adventure since it was so nearby. And we were very happy with that choice, good restaurants, nice beaches, affordable hotel, and lots of big cruise ships to watch as they left Port Canaveral.
This little one grinned most of the trip.
And played nonstop.
Till one point where she just fell sound asleep right in the sand, and couldn't go on another moment. I don't think I'd ever seen her this worn out. She is quite the whirlwind of a kid.
But even the most energy packed person in the world can be done in by fun in the sun!
And boy, was there a LOT of fun.
She is one lucky little girl–you are making so many memories with her.
Did you see Tony, Dr. Bellows, and Jenny? Sorry couldn’t help it.
Seemed like a fun fun trip. Sugarwings could not be more filled with JOY. I love her imagination.
I’m so glad you could split for a fun and relaxing time. Sounds perfect! Love those smiles!
That is one cute little girl.

Smiles Karla…sounds like you had a very nice time….that little Sugarwings is adorable ….. love that last pic .
Sugarwings reminds me so much of my daughter, at that age. She was always pretending to be a storybook character. She would rather pretend than play with toys.
