I just got back from an amazing road trip with Scott and the kids to FLA to meet my new Nephew Slade Matthew Gershman, to find out StrollerFit is merging with Baby Boot Camp. I am not sure how I feel about this but all things considering, everything will stay the same thru the summer. You will see no differences.
As for the fall, I am waiting on the information from Baby Boot Camp before I can say what will happen. I will tell you that we will continue to have classes and get together into the future.
Now for our trip. Day one we drove about 8 hrs to DC, where we went to the National Zoo. the kids loved the Panda's and the birds. Then we had dinner with brian, Kathy and JC. Julianna pulled a chair into her face and ended up with a few scratches and a bloody lip. I have become my father because I took the you'll see approach to it all and she did, no worse for the wear.
We stayed at JC & Bj's that night and left the next morning after a leisurely breakfast for South Carolina where we stayed with Shelly and Michael. Joey had a blast with michael's remote contral cars.
Day three we headed for FLA. We stopped in Daytona beach and walked around the race track. Joey loves the home depot car because it is driven by a tony and he got up close and personal with it. More on home depot later. Then we ended the day at my Aunt Ali's on Vero Beach.
We spent Day four at my Aunt's. She tried to teach Joey how to play tennis, we went to the pool and the private beach, then we snuck into the Vero Beach disney Resort, where Joey did the water slide atleast 20 times. Then I cooked dinner and the kids went off to see the boats at the marina.
Day five we had breakfast at a small airport where Joey and Julianna watched the planes take off and land. They both were mesmerized. Then we spent the Afternoon at My Brother Keith and his wife Melissa's house in the pool, before going to there son's Bris. Our new nephew is adorabel and the kids had a ball on the play ground and playing in and out of the pool with Papa (my dad). mthen we headed to Michele, Mike and Zacks's house.
Day six we hung out with my dad at the playground and went out to lunch before he flew home to grandma in Vegas. (She could not be with us, due to her current treatment). That night I made a great dinner and we sat cnd chatted into the night with Mike and Michele, Aunt Barb, Marc, Mike and Carole.
Day seven we decided to drive as far as we could. We went to Steak n Shake for lunch in honor of my Road trip to vegas with Julie and then stopped somewear in Sout Carolina for dinner. While there we took the kids to Home Depot, Joey wanted to fing Joey and the HD race car. the Raqce this weekend is in Darlington not far from where we were, and Jeoy Logano was going to sign autographs in that store, the next day, we were a day too early. The kids drove the HD race car shopping cart, did donuts with it with Scott and ran laps around the store. The rode tractors and other large equipment for over an hr, they had a ball and it was free, who needs Disney World...ok we do, but free fun with a little imagination is great. at one point joey told scott the raqce car had a flat tire and they needed a pit crew, so I became the pit crew and repaired it. We then drove for another 2 hours and stayed in Fayetteville, SC for the night.
Day eight we drove to Richmond to see race cars, since Daytona that is all Joey wanted to do, but the track and shop were closed for lunch, so we headed to the Metro DC area. we went for a late linch with JC, saw here condo that is being built and her office and then had a fabulous dinner cooked by BJ. We were going to drive home but decided to stay when we realized they live a few minutes from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Day Nine we packed the car, took the kids to the Air and Space Museaum where Joey saw the planes, space shuttle and some of the transformer stuff from the movie. HE loved the shark plane, which is really called a tiger plane. Scott was in heaven. Then we drove home and arrived back at about 8 pm
What a great trip. Loved seeing everyone and meeting my new nephew.
