Lido Beach

Jeff, Sydney and I took a long weekend vacation to Lido Key in Sarasota. Although Sydney has been to the Deleware shore the last two years, this was the first beach trip where she was walking and her first true experience with sand outside of a sandbox. It was a fantastic weekend, the weather was perfect and Sydney had so much fun. We had a nice room with a balcony that overlooked the ocean and the pool and she loved to go outside and point to the "wa wa" (water).

We spent three days playing on the beach, collecting sea shells, playing in the pool and walking into St Aramand's Circle for coffee, lunch, ice cream and shopping. Sydney was on the go non-stop and is definitely making up for the lost sleep since we got home. She wasn't having anything to do with the hotel crib so we all went to bed together each night around 9:30pm and took a walk into town during naptime to get her to sleep. We did opt for a nanny one evening so Jeff and I could get out for a quiet, relaxing and much needed dinner alone, which was great.
