Our Final Vacation as a Family of Three..................

The first week in May we went on our final vacation as a family of three.  We went to Singer Island outside of West Palm.  My parents met us down there and Gwen finally got to meet her Uncle David, Aunt Gean, and friend Jenny.  I wish we had a bit better weather (it rained 2 out of the 5 days) but we had a great time anyway.

Gwen loved playing at the beach and in the pool.  She was a bit grumpy at Butterfly World, but I think she secretly liked it (even though she got bit by a bird) since she is still talking about it.  One of her favorite things to do was play with her "squirt squirt"..............aka water gun.  She would use it to clean the condo and squirt people (anyone in the elevator with us was taking a huge risk).   She ate dinner out almost every night (even had Cuban food) and got to spend quality time with Papa and Grandma. 

The transition back to home was a bit rough.  It all started when we dropped off the rental car.  Gwen cried so hard because they were taking the car from us.  She then threw the biggest tantrum EVER on the airplane where she was hitting us and everything (she had never hit us before).  I ended up crying which probably didn't help the situation.  The week after the trip was horrible too while she was trying to transition into the real world (back to a sleep schedule, school schedule, and eating healthy again).  Luckily though she is back to her old self (with some added tantrums).
