My little Mer-Man.

He is loving the saltwater pools and the sun.

He’s discovered that there are places where you can get unlimited cinnamon buns and waffles (insanely good waffles) with hot syrup and bacon and chicken strips and hot dogs.

Where drinks can be served in coconuts and whale tails and you can build-a-stuffed-best-friend while watching midnight blue waters crash against the boat you’re riding on and around every corner is someone who remembers your name, how you like your hamburger and whether you prefer sprite or milk.

Where you can jump in a pool, slide down a giant slide, play a game of chess with pieces as tall as you and make a new friend around every turn.
