Twice a year we go to Davenport Florida (JUST outside orlando... a gated community) where we rent a house. This is IDEAL because Layla can come (we aren't sure if pets are allowed, but we've never said anything and neither have they! plus our pups don't shed!) and she can also come by the pool with us. I hate going to hotels because while they may be pet friendly, dogs can't go in the pool or even be on the pool deck. The house we rent has its own pool and she is just in heaven. I find she settles in very fast and it only takes about a day for her to figure out where she pottys and where she wants to nap and so forth... it has been BY Far the best thing we have done as a family since getting Layla. However, as a northerner... i was quick to learn about fire ants
i hope wherever you go you all have a GREAT time and TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!
