Maya spent April 28-May 2nd traveling to Florida to meet her grandparents (on the Gleeson side) for her first time. Shiho loved their house and thought the back yard was full of good aura. This was Maya's first flight and she had only a few moments of fussiness, really not bad at all, and made a lot of friends in the process. Maya also dipped her feet in the Gulf of Mexico at Honeymoon Island, getting her first "taste" of salt water. We also visited Homossasa Wildlife Park, (I'll quit the firsts now, you get the idea) which is a State Wilderness Park with many attractions including Manatee's, Eagles, Flamingos and many, many other caged and wild animals indigenous to Fla. They also have a Hippo, which of course is not native to Fla., but you'll have to go there yourself to get the whole story. One of my favorite stops was at the Dali Museum in St Pete's. We went Thurs. night, and admission was only 5 bucks, which is a good tip if you plan to go, and can arrange your schedule. I'm glad we were also were able to "do lunch" with Aunt Louise and John before flying home.
