HAPPY FIRST FATHER'S DAY DAD!
besides acclimating me with my first theme park (magic kingdom, orlando) for my 10-month birthday, my parents decided beforehand to dip my feet into the atlantic ocean. not too long after we left, sharks came. i would say my parents timed it well. it was have been nice to see one though...dont' you think?
since my mommy was on project while we were there, my daddy and i went state hopping. we drove from daytona beach, florida through georgia, through south carolina and into north carolina AND back within an estimated 48 hour period. do we rock or what? WHOO HOO! it's not an easy thing to travel with an infant across four state lines alone but my daddy didn't see it that way. he saw it as exciting. he couldn't wait to travel with me alone. think about it, i needed to be changed regularly, i couldn't eat certain kinds of foods and i faced the back of the car so my daddy had to be able to check up on me too. it didn't matter to my daddy he found a way to do all of that and was having a BLAST doing it all...for me.
we spent the night in north carolina with my uncle faanati, aunt melanie and cousins fale and diana...and then stopped off to see my uncle lagi, aunt anne and their family on our way back in to florida. when the clock struck midnight for my daddy's first father's day with me, we were driving through state lines together. man did i enjoy hanging out with my dad! i would turn my head from my car seat and talk to him and he would talk back. it was a sporadic, four-state long dialogue, twice. (cool, huh!)
i learned a lot about my parents on this trip. my mommy loves a certain store that my daddy makes time to find and enjoy with her. my parents like to eat at certain restaurants for certain meals when they are east of the mississippi. they are more down-to-earth places moreso than higher end. my daddy is not afraid to seek out and conquer new territory. my parents love to try local food and appreciate the unique culture in each town/state. i guess this is not the end of my travels with these two...i wonder where we will end up next? any ideas?
