Unkee Josh

The last few days of our trip have been a whirlwind, but we've enjoyed sharing them with "Unkee Josh," who arrived late Tuesday night and who has been a most patient and loving uncle during the time that he's  been visiting with us. The arrival of Josh signaled a turning point in our vacation; I was finally able to carve out a few hours each day for myself and spent them enjoying the glorious sun and the blissful anti-gravity effects of water in the King's Point pool. I wasn't around for some of the adventuring that took place, but it included a visit to a nature preserve and "Strawberryland," the latter at which Maddy was able to enjoy picking some very high-tech, hydroponic strawberries. I was sorry to miss this event; she had a great time and came home stained with the juices of the many, many strawberries she sampled while at the farm.

We venture home tomorrow. We will be very sorry to leave the warmth of Florida and the pleasurable company of Savta, Saba, and Josh. Once we arrive back in Watertown, we'll have to transition immediately back to real life and prepare for the impending arrival of our baby. She has been enjoying this vacation, too...kicking up a storm and making sure we all know she is along for the ride!
