- Erika was sick on Tuesday with a mild fever and lack of appetite, so on Wednesday she stayed curled up on the pull-out futon in the living room watching TV all day.
- Friday we took off for Florida first thing in the morning, and within hours of landing, jumped into the 70-degree resort pool. The locals thought it was too cold. We simply missed being in the water. Erika pretended to be an alligator, skimming at the surface of the water. She kicked and splashed a lot too to "scare the sharks".
- We went to the Morikami Japanese Gardens which was so serene and beautiful.
- We attended Uncle Tom's memorial service (my MIL's older brother), which was the true purpose of our trip. It was good to see extended family and they were all so thrilled to see Erika.
- Visited Delray Beach and Boca Raton beach. Took some sand back in an empty plastic water bottle and was stopped at security and that was that they removed! I was so scared but they said it was flagged because of the density/appearance, and not because of sand, which is perfectly OK to transport across state borders (illegal internationally, though, as you can transport critters in the sand causing serious invasive species havoc if released...)
