The main reason for our trip was that Paige's cousin Cedric graduated from high school. The graduation ceremony was after Paige's bedtime, but she enjoyed the party the next day. See photo of Paige with Auntie Shantell and cousins Cedric & Joseph at the party.
Over the weekend, Paige also had her first trip to the beach in St. Petersburg, FL (see family beach portrait). She took a nap on the beach, then went in for a couple of short swims with Mom & Dad. She wasn't fussy about the cool water. She seemed to enjoy watching all the people in their brightly-colored swimsuits. She traveled like a champ, and we are all happy to be home in Chicago, sleeping in our own beds tonight.
