Milo in the Sunshine State

Ben had to go Florida for work, so Julie and Milo came along and we took a little mini-vacation over 4th of July. We had a lot of fun. Milo got in the ocean for the first time, which was a little scary at first, but fun once he got used to it. We saw alligators, giant grasshoppers, new birds, and afternoon thundershowers.

Milo saw his first fireworks at the 4th of July party hosted by Ben's CEO. We were staying in Boca Raton, north of Miami, but one day we drove over to the gulf coast and visited with Julie's aunt Shelly and uncle Jeff who were on vacation there.

It's not the heat that gets to you, it's the humidity.


Big bugs


Boca has a great whole foods. Milo loves riding in the cart.


On the home front, we had a fun weekend house sitting in Santa Cruz for Nick and Kendra. Summer means kiddie pools and hanging out on the deck with T&E.

Nick and Kendra's great new deck.
