Cruise part II and Miami sans mom

One of Pepe's favorite activities on the boat was torturing me. How does it go? See below

But in the end, after all that terror, all was forgotten...

I said "good bye" to Pepe on Friday am, and it went smoothly. On Thursday night we had a talk about it:
AM: So, Pepe, mommy is going to go back home tomorrow and you will stay with Buni and Ioana.
P: Why?

AM: Because mommy knows you are going to have a lot of fun in Miami with Buni. Cousin Landen is coming...

P: Are there going to be more kids?
AM: I don;t know

P: Playgrounds, and lighthouses?

AM: Yes, there will be playgrounds. And Buni will take you to see a lighthouse.

P: OK, you can go.

So I did. And Pepe did have a blast. Mom spoiled him. She bought him everything he wanted, toys and food (e.g., an entire bag on M&M's, a pack of Ritz crackers, mac & Cheese, all very healthy). Godmother Ioana bought him Henry the train. Joe (Ioana's godfather) took them to see a lighthouse.

Mom got the boy all to herself for a bit..

They visited the biggest playground in Miami

He terrorized Ioana...

And finally got some sleep

Only to wake up for some more action

Godmother Ioana and Jeremy and cousin Landen came over for the weekend to hang out. Unfortunately, mom's camera ran out of batteries...I hear they all had a blast.

And me and Chris? We enjoyed 2 adult nights with friends and 3 sleepless nights with mom's dog Obi running around the house restless terribly missing mom...Good times!
