My First Vacation

If all vacations are like my first one, I might be better off staying at home! We stopped at the Florida state line and took these pictures.
Our first night in Ponce Inlet, we went to Down the Hatch, Uncle Al's favorite HOLE. I began feeling terrible and my diaper later indicated that something had definitely malfunctioned. The next day, mom and dad took me to a "Doc in the Box" and they said I had an ear infection...good times, indeed!



This is me napping after a dose of my Amoxicil. I was very groggy and didn't feel good.
This is my first time on the beach. I enjoyed several mouthfuls of sand - certainly a different texture and a distinct taste, one that is acquired over time - I tried another mouthful the next day!
One night we went to Park's Seafood...one of my favorites and one of the few highlights of the vacation...I ate some french fries and some apple sauce. Of course, their air conditioning was not working and I was still running a fever, par for the course.
The Last night we were in Daytona, we went on Mimi's recommendation to go to Blackbeards Inn...great call! My dad was lapping up that Chowder and I was afraid he might eat me if I got close enough! This was our LAST SUPPER on vacation. Sad indeed.

Autie Rae,
OK, let's get one thing straight...Down the Hatch is one of the better out of the way places to eat, but to say it's my favorite HOLE is "STRETCHING IT" a tad bit! And as our beloved Dada used to say, "Those tads will kill ya'!" I sure was sorry to hear about your run of bad luck on your maiden voyage to the Sunshine State. I know what it's like to have ear problems on vacation, but I'm confident that better days(and vacations) lay ahead for you. Your photos were, as usual, precious, and I was tempted on more than one occasion to contact Disney Studios to inform them that their little mermaid Ariel had washed up on the shores at Daytona Beach. But after careful scrutiny I nixed the idea because I realized that not even a popular Disney heroine could possess all of your feminine charms! And even though you sometimes fancy a mouthful of sand, you are, and will always be, in a class by yourself! I LOVE YOU AUTUMN, and don't sweat those LAST SUPPERS...without them, JESUS never could have gone to prepare a place for us in HIS Kingdom! AMEN!
