One week to paradise!

Robert, Emma and I leave for Fernandina Beach, Fla., in six days! I'm so excited.

Besides being absolutely beautiful, Fernandina Beach is particularly special for Robert and I since that's where we first met and fell in love.

We'll be living the "high life," staying in a condo right on the beach. It has 2 bedrooms, a balcony off the master bedroom, a kitchen, a laundry room and a pool.

Between now and then, Robert and I have to figure out how we can condense our belongings down to what will fit into the back of my parent's Envoy. Notice I didn't say the trunk of OUR car, because I've already concluded that's not realistic. It's going to kill us in airplane fees, but just to function through a week, we've got to take clothes for all 3 of us, her playpen to sleep in, a stroller, and a car seat. Plus, I think I've lost the battle of Robert leaving his new golf clubs behind.

Speaking of which, here's what Robert's geeked about vs. what I'm looking forward to.

Robert's top priorities:

• Hunt down autographs from his favorite players during Jacksonville Jaguars training camp (the reason we picked this outrageously hot time of year)


• Spend quality time with his dad on the golf course


• Introduce Emma to her uncle John, aunt Melissa, and cousins Justin, Cassie and Susan


• Hang out with his best buds from high school


• Golf at the Plantation, a ritzy resort for the rich and famous where his friend Robbie works, for free


• Take Emma to the Jacksonville Zoo


• Take me to the Marina, the 5 star restaurant where he has taken EVERY OTHER GIRL he's ever dated except for me. (All I got that summer we met was freaking DENNY'S)


• Buy a ton of cheap Jacksonville Jaguars memorabilia at the local Wal-Mart

Heather's top priorities:

• Get a tan by the ocean


• Get a tan by the pool


• Swim in the ocean


• Swim in the pool


• Sleep by the ocean


• Sleep by the pool


• Play with Emma in the ocean


• Play with Emma in the pool

It's gonna take a whole lotta sun block (for Emma -- not me, of course), but this trip is going to be AWESOME!
