Wednesday, June 1 through Saturday June 4, 2011

We took a trip to Fort Myers and Marco Island for three nights. Max had to work, so Luca and I were able to come along with him. The plane ride there and back was a challenge (I'm being nice with the word challenge). Luca does not like to sit still, so sitting on our laps for 2 1/2 hours was out of the question. We roamed the plane, took trips to the bathroom, and finally got to sleep in the flight attendent's seat. Thank God she had two little girls Luca's age, because she understood what I was going through. The guy in front of us, however, was not so understanding.

I do have to say that once we got there, it was a hundred times better. While Max worked, Luca and I toured Fort Myers. We went shopping, out to eat, and we even went to the Imaginarium. They had different exotic animals (or critters is what they call it). Luca got to pet a baby alligator. From Fort Myers, we then drove through Naples, and then to Marco Island. Marco Island is one of my favorite places. It is beautiful there. The ocean is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxing. We stayed at the Marriott, which was awesome, especially for Luca. They have a zero depth pool, where he played the entire day. When it was time to get out of the pool, he through a major temper tantrum. Oh well! At least he had fun!
