We headed down to Rosemary Beach, Florida once again for this past Memorial Day weekend. We were there for spring break back in March and didn't get to fully enjoy all the area had to offer since it was freezing. This time the weather was awesome, mid 80's and not horribly humid. Gus went swimming for the first time apparently quite enjoys it, as does Hank. He was ALL about swimming this weekend and was exhausted at the end of each day thanks for his efforts.
What would have been an otherwise blissful trip was marred by two incidents:
1. On day one Hank managed to get a rather large splinter lodged in the ball of his foot. In spite of our wishful thinking that it might just come out in its own, it did not. What ensued was traumatic to all involved. Picture Matt holding Hank down as Hank did his best impression of a bucking bronco. Meanwhile, I have a death grip on the wounded foot and am trying to open a passage for the splinter with a needle. It probably took all of 3 mins to extract the thing but it felt like a lifetime as Hank begged us to let him go, to stop hurting him, etc. We promptly superglued a pair of shoes to his feet once the splinter was removed.
2. After a nice dinner out a deux on our final night, Matt and I retired to bed for a good night's rest. At some point in the middle of the night we were woken by Gus crying in a distressed manner. I went in to his room and picked him up. He proceeded to throw up over my shoulder, and down my back. Calm upset baby, change clothing, allow them to fall asleep next to you. Repeat every 30 mins. The poor child was miserable with a fever the next day too, which happened to coincide with our travel home.
Other than that the trip was a success! Hope you all had a nice first long weekend if the summer, wherever you were!
