My favorite picture of our vacation:)
Back in May, we took our first BIG family of four trip (it was technically family of 5 but we didn't know yet!) We have gone away for the weekend and taken small trips but this was our first time since we had Nora that we were gone for ten days.
We went to Grayton Beach, Florida for four days and then to Clearwater, Florida for four days to see our friends get marrried. We stayed over night at a hotel while traveling down and over night on the way back. The kids loved every second of it! They got a big kick out of staying in the hotels and the beach house.
We had to stop at the rocket ship in Alabama. This is something my family always did on the way down to Florida every year.
Nolan loved the rocket ship and was very impressed!
The kids insisted we get a picture together, so cute:)
Our positions in the car. We were actually pleasantly surprised with how well the kids did in the car. I packed lots of things for them to do and had them gift wrapped for them to open. They were little things to keep them occupied in the car. I only handed out one at a time when they were bored or not watching a movie.
Nora and I on a walk in the morning on Grayton Beach, collecting sea shells.
Applying sunscreen in our beach house, a daily routine before hitting the beach.
The last time we were at Grayton Beach, Nolan was 10 months old and I was pregnant with Nora. We went with my mom's side of the family and had a blast!
Life is simple at the beach...this is all we did. They are the perfect age for keeping busy playing in the water and sand. We got there every morning, packed our lunch and snacks for the day and stayed until we had enough sun.
Gorgeous water! The tide left a "mini pool" that was warm and the kids loved playing in!
More pics will be added once I get them from Ryan. They include our visits to The Red Bar and Seaside.
