We escaped the cold of Boston for the warmth of Captiva, Florida in mid-March for our spring break. I flew down with the boys myself and met Halsey, Liz, Fred and Darcy at the South Seas Island Resort for some fun in the sun. The resort was gorgeous and set up perfectly for families with small children. There is a trolley which takes you to different buildings/locations in the resort and is a highlight of the resort. We quickly got into a groove for our days. We'd have breakfast in the condo, and as the sun was rising, head to the beach for some morning playtime, digging and running in the sand. Then we'd head back to the condo to put on our bathing suits and head to the pools for some more swimming before lunch and rest time in the afternoon. One evening we took a dolphin watching cruise, and Pierce and Teddy delighted in watching the dolphins splash and play in the boat wake. Pierce even got to captain the boat for a bit. For the rest of the vacation, Teddy would clap his hands and say "Yay, dolphins" whenever he got excited!
Chris, Liz, Foster and Molly joined us for a couple of days, and the cousins had fun playing, hugging, and exploring together! Molly and Teddy really discovered eachother on this trip, and it was precious to see them seek out one another, hold hands, and laugh together. Pierce and Foster were best buds as always! They are such a great balance for one another, and it is so fun to watch them grow up together. We would love to go back to the same spot next year. It could become an annual tradition.
