Fort Myers is a great destination when flying alone with an infant due to the high grandma ratio on board! :-) We flew Southwest on the way out, and all of their people were awesome every step of the way. Our return trip on Airtran wasn't anything special except that we had Jason with us this time, which was nice. He had never flown with Will before today. Will was an excellent traveler and received many compliments and smiles and waves on both legs of the trip.

The Pool! The Beach! The Other Beach!
After a great week vacationing (well, and being sick) at home with Grandma, Will and I flew to Fort Myers for a long weekend at the beach. We met up with Jason who was already in Florida for business, and our very good friends Keith, Desiree and Aiden from Kansas City.
Will got to have his first and second swims ever at the condo pool in Naples! He has always loved the bath, so we had high hopes for the pool. We weren't disappointed! Luckily, the weather was mild and the water was heated for the old people! :-)
The first beach day, my sinus infection was really bad, so the Shields family stayed home while the K, D, and A enjoyed a gorgeous day and dolphin sightings. We did venture out on day 2, but it was windy and not as warm. Will and I stayed under the umbrella and played for most of the time. Although Jason took him on a nice long walk up the beach for people and bird watching.
On Sunday we drove to Captiva Island where we rented a beach cottage for one night. This was literally right out our back door! We actually had a water view out the front door (and across a few streets) as well! The day was overcast and cool, but it was great. Jason devised a fabulous surprise day at the spa for the ladies! I was treated to an hour long massage and a pedicure and Desiree got a spa mani/pedi while he and Will explored the island with Keith and Aiden. Wow, wow, wow, what a treat! LOVE that guy!
