Sensing a bit of unrest, we decided to pack up the family and fly to FL for the long 4th of July weekend. Tessa was thrilled about the trip and talked about it for several days before we left. Fortunately, the trip did not disappoint. We taught her how to float in the ocean using noodles (not to be confused with the slightly more dangerous sport of noodling).

We spent a lot of time on the beach.

Mimi and Pop-Pop took her to the Naples Zoo, where they saw some large cats (and there was rumored to be a honey badger there, but we don't have the photos to prove it).
