Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! Dan, Hannah, and I went to Tampa, Florida to visit some of Dan's family. Aunt Ginger and Uncle Wayne live right outside of Tampa, in an awesome city called Wimauma (don't ask me to try to pronounce that!). Dan's sister, Diana, and her family (Dustin, Hunter, Colton) were also able to join us for this holiday. Diana's family (The Warners) arrived on Tuesday and stayed until Saturday. We arrived Thursday and stayed until Sunday.

Right after we arrived in Wimauma on Thursday, we joined everyone at Ginger and Wayne's house for Thanksgiving lunch/dinner.

We decided to get a hotel close to where Ginger and Wayne live, but get a joint room so we could spend more time visiting. I found a great deal at Little Harbor. It was a 3 bedroom apartment/condo/hotel with access to the docks, the beach, and a pool. This was our view from the balcony...

Hannah loved to show off her many outfits, and her new walking skills!

Dustin (Diana's husband) has been competing in triathlons for the past few months. He was brave enough to go swim in the ocean. Although, it was warm in Tampa...the wind was very strong. The rest of us just cheered him on from the beach. This was Hannah's first time to the beach.

After Dustin finished his swim, we all went to the hotel pool (heated) and enjoyed some swimming time. Then we went back to Ginger and Wayne's house.

The Warners left early Saturday morning, and we switched to a hotel closer to the airport. We also got to enjoy some more time with Ginger and Wayne. They took us to Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant, which was my favorite salad buffet place when we lived in Florida and later that evening Dan made us all steaks.

Our hotel room for Saturday night was not that exciting, but we had to take a picture of what Hannah slept in. We used to travel with her Pack'N'Play, which is a foldaway crib. We realized after our last trip that the airlines have started to charge for that item as a luggage piece, so I found online a PeaPodPlus, which reminds me of a pup-tent. She did great sleeping in it!

I wasn't too happy with the airlines security check in Tampa on our way out.

(The employees ignored me when I got the bottles out to be checked, I waited 10 minutes, then when they examined prescription bottles of a lady that came through, I went to put the bottles up and got yelled at!)

BUT...the jungle gym/play area was AWESOME! I think every airport should have these! She had so much fun playing and it entertained her the entire time we waited. Plus, she was so exhausted from playing so hard, that she slept a majority of the flight!
