Going back to work on Monday is really no fun, especially after a terrific weekend. Sigh... Yesterday was just one of those perfectly wonderful days, from first thing in the morning until after we hit the sheets and fell asleep. In the morning, Chrisots helped me around the house and then we went to the Children's Museum along with my dad - he had such a blast! Each time we go (we are members at all the museum's in Ottawa, since we frequent all of them often, especially the Children's Museum) he has more and more fun... growing up more and more with each visit.

Thank goodness, I have to say, for our portable DVD player and Mighty Machines - that kept him occupied for well over 30 minutes. When we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, we rented a car with a car seat, and thankfully, the car rental people installed the seat for us. Christos...
