Florida- And Promises of Better Blogging Habits

The weekend before Thanksgiving we headed to St. Petersburg, Florida so my mom and I could run the Women's Half Marathon. Jackson was great on the way there. This is his first time on an airplane.

The trip home was not as great. We sat on the tarmac for a while which of course means we are seated with our belts on. Jackson was screaming....like in full meltdown mode. We did everything we could to get him to stop but nothing worked. Finally, the flight attendant saved us by taking him and walking up and down the aisles of the plane with him until we took off. Once the engines were roaring, he fell asleep and stayed that way for three hours!
We were there a day early and enjoyed touring the bayfront before we picked up my parents at the airport.
Sunday morning, we were ready with the sun to run! Our race started at 7 and we were done right after 10:00. He we are with more energy than we had after the race.
Lots of women getting ready to start!
There we are just starting mile one. Where's Waldo?
Mile 7-over halfway!
This is my last tenth of a mile. What a gross picture. Ugh.
Running towards the finish.
Bryan didn't take any pictures of my mom and I with our medals. They are all on my dad's camera :( After our run, we took showers, devoured some food and headed to Clearwater to hit the beach. We were also so lucky to be able to meet up with family! We saw Moris and Lori Cabezas and enjoyed conversation over dinner.
Here's our little guy's first trip to the beach.

Mommy and JacksonFeet in the water for the first time. It was freezing!

We had a great time in Florida! It was quite the shock to come back to frigid temperatures though.

I am going to be very mindful of the time that passes between posts. I want to be better and time really gets away from me. Thanks for checking back for more posts!
