Weekend Trip

We recently took a weekend trip down to Gainesville.  Not a typical destination, but I have been wanting to visit the town of Micanopy, FL.   It turned out to be a really cute little town.  Very little.   It had cute old homes and many antique shops.    I brought our babysitter with us, which helped tremendously.  I don't know if I could travel more than two hours with the kids by myself!   We stayed in a hotel, which Jane Ritchie loved.  She did not want to leave.  We went back to the Florida Museum of Natural History, which has a butterfly garden.  

We plan on doing this trip again in July to meet our friends that live in St. Pete.  They have two little boys, so it will be super fun for Jane Ritchie.    oh, I got Jane Ritchie an Ipod Touch.  A friend told me that his 4 year old has one and loves it.  I was not sure if JR could do it, but she did great.  She only had problems keeping her earphones in!    It is so much better than having the DVD player in the car.
