Melbourne, FL

We spent the past week in Melbourne, FL.  Ryan had a work trip and Cannon and I got to tag along.  The best part was that Ryan was home (well, back to the hotel) early almost every day, sometimes by 3:00.

Cannon thrives on routines and quickly established one at the hotel.  Every morning we ate our breakfast buffet at the same table.  He ate the same breakfast every morning: bacon, scrambled eggs, french toast, apple juice, and some fruit.  Then we would go swimming in the pool and/or to the beach.  Then upstairs for quiet time and back to the beach and/or pool again.  We brought his bike along, so we threw that into the mix every now and then too. And then dinner at a restaurant.  Oh, and Cannon decided that his job was to push the buttons for the elevator.  He knew to push 1 and 7.

The Atlantic is definitely cooler than the Gulf.  Some days it felt a little too cool for me, but other days it was perfect.  Although still hot and humid, it really wasn't that bad.  There was always a cooler breeze.



Our walk on the beach turned into a swim
We had a super long hallway perfect for riding a bike!



Ryan liked to take Cannon out far



We found TONS of jelly fish one day!

We took some back to our room and put them in water

Football on the beach!



It rained every afternoon or evening
And Cannon surprised us with his swimming skills! One time he made it across the short end of the pool (15-20ft) in one breath! The more he swims, the better he becomes. I'm glad we still have a good two months of swimming here!

We all had a fun and relaxing time!

SO MUCH FUN! And why aren't you getting stung by these jelly fish? Guess I don't know much about them.
