Bienvenido a Miami

                                                                                        BGB at 26 weeks

Baby Gal Bruno (aka BGB) took her first vacation to Florida this past week.  Though she didn't get to soak up the rays, her father and I sure did.  Five glorious days of it.  Yoav, one of Corey's good buddies from Northwestern, got married in Miami so we decided to make a little vacation out of it.  We were in Miami for 4 days staying at the beautiful Palms Hotel right on the beach.  The first couple of days we kept busy with late nights catching up with friends over cocktails (mocktails and faux-jitos for this gal!), lounging in and around the pool, and dancing the night away at the beautiful wedding.

I enjoyed during our trip

The last day/night included a wonderful pre-natal massage, walks on the boardwalk, and a delicious dinner for two at a farm-to-table restaurant.  We recharged just in time to hit the road to Orrrrrlaaaaaaaaaaaandooooooooo (those of you that have also seen The Book of Mormon will understand) for the last leg of the trip where we met up with Corey's cousin, Michael, his wife Cara and their four kiddos.  They were gracious enough to host us for the night and then we got up bright and early the next day to hit the Magic Kingdom.

Corey and I love Disney and actually went to Disneyland just the two of us during our California adventure back in 2008.  We looked forward to coming back with our kids one day but knew that day was far off so we jumped at the chance of joining the Taylor's for their first experience.  There's something amazing about seeing a child's eyes light up the first time they enter the park, see their first real-life character, or ride "the best ride ever" for the first time.  We had beautiful weather which only enhanced our already wonderful day.  We were sad to say goodbye and head to the airport so soon but are already anticipating experiencing these moments with our own BGB and her brother(s)/sister(s).
