Leslie & Jeff

Isabella is becoming quite the world (well, maybe continental) traveler! Last week we worked a short week and flew down to Tampa, Florida for a visit with Jeff's grandparents in Venice, Florida. Isabella refused to nap before the flight and, of course, wouldn't nap during the flight so it was rough at times. She did, however, make friends with everyone who would make eye contact with her during the flight! We made it in one piece and made our way from Tampa down to Venice. The weather in Florida was chilly, but beautiful. We spent most of our time visiting with Jeff's grandparents, who were wonderful and very excited to meet their great granddaughter. On Friday, we drove back up to Tampa for a trip to Busch Gardens. It was another beautiful day and there were hardly any lines at the park, so Jeff and I actually got to ride some roller coasters!

We flew back today, Sunday, and were welcomed by clouds, snow, and sub-freezing temperatures. Ah, such is life in Indiana. Isabella handled the flight back very well and slept on her daddy for most of it. We've been resting this evening, as all three of us are exhausted. Jeff and I both have a busy work week in front of us to look forward to. But, we wanted to post a few pictures of our trip for everyone to enjoy. So, without further ado, enjoy!

  1. The pictures are very cute. Looks like Isabella liked great grandpa just fine! We're looking forward to a call telling us all about the trip. Love Mama and Daddy

    Looks like she loved her trip to FL! So cool to see her with her great-grandpa, she's a lucky little girl. Glad you guys got to have a some time in the sun, too! Even if it was chilly for FL, it couldn't be like the midwest these days :)

    Loved the pictures. We can just imagine how tickled Great Grandpa and Grandma were to see Isabella and the two of you too.

    How did you get to ride roller coasters with Isabella?
    I know that Jeff is a roller coaster fanatic. Is he already priming Izzy to share his enthusiasm?

    Love and hugs, Mom and Dad
