As you can see Brendan enjoyed our first family vacation. We went to Sand Key in Clearwater Beach, FL and stayed at the Sheraton. The hotel was very nice, and the beach was very beautiful. The biggest problem was how hot it was, but we got some good beach time. That evening we met up with Steve and Allison Chubboy. Jeni and I haven’t seen Steve and Allison since they moved back from Tennessee and it was good to catch up with them.
We only spent the one evening in Clearwater and on the way home we had lunch with Jeni’s sister. Saturday we had decided to go get Jeni a new car. We decided on the new 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L model. Unfortunately we weren’t able to make a deal with Mike Ramesar and his Sales manager the first day at Classic Honda. But Mike was persistant and a few days later we worked out a deal, so Jeni has a new 2007 Glacier blue Honda CR-V. Instead of buying the Honda GPS unit we decided to order our own, and we got the Garmin Nuvi 660. So far we are pretty happy with it, although I haven’t quite figured out all the features yet.
For me the best part of the vacation was the last day. It was a monday and Jeni and I took Brendan to daycare and we spent the day together. We had breakfast at LePeep, and finally took the time to run some long awaited earnds. Finally we went to see Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix. The movie was great, and it was the first movie Jeni and I have gone to together since before Brendan was born, so that was a lot of fun.
That was basically our first family vacation. Enjoy all the photos on flickr!
