It was a little bit of a challenge with a baby who is crawling, when there is hardly enough space in the RV to walk! Plane ride and all, we made it work and it was a fun trip.
We started out going to the beach near Tampa, where the RV was for the winter. Wouldn't you know, the time we visit Florida from Minnesota they are having a cold snap? It was a little cold for the water, but for a 4 year old, a beach is a beach, and he had fun playing in the sand regardless.
And we were able to take our baby to the ocean before he was a year old!
Next we crossed the state to go to the Kennedy Space Center. Our oldest had an OBSESSION with NASA and all things space at the time, so it was his dream come true!
Even if you aren't into space or science, the space center is a great experience to learn about the nation's space program, the history of space travel, and to see some of the vehicles such as the apollo capsules and the space shuttle up close! ( We are partial as we have a friend who is an astronaut :)
We also left the baby with Grandma and Grandpa to take our 4 year old to Disney's Magic Kingdom for a day. Looking back, we could have taken the baby, but age 4 is just about the perfect age to take to Disney, and this way we could make it special just for him. Time didn't permit us to do all the Disney parks, but it was enough to spark happy memories from my childhood of my parents taking me to Disneyland in California. And my love of " it's a small world" which I will happily start singing ......
The lines were not bad, and our 4 year old was so exited he was EXTREMELY patient and never complained once about the walking, lines, or any of it!
All in all, it was a successful trip, and the start of many more travels for our kiddos!
