Beach Trip #1

We just got home from our first beach trip of the season! We stayed an entire week, and it was so nice to have Daddy all to ourselves! The trip started off a little rocky, but the gorgeous weather made up for it. We switched houses due to a broken air conditioner. I lost my sunglasses during the move. My camera started to act up on me. Our baby monitor broke before we even left town. And last but not least, Quinn, baby Gavin, and Shawn all got a little sick during the trip. Sounds like hell doesn't it?

We rented beach chairs and spent a little time at the beach every morning. My girl is still not a huge fan of the sand, but I would say this year was a bit of improvement.

Our first night always starts with dinner at Acme. The char-grilled oysters are our favorite. The kids all love to run around Baytowne and get a little ice cream (of course).

My Blair-bear is a little fish at heart. She loves her a good swimming pool. After I saw what her beach reaction was going to be, we decided to increase our trips to the pool!

All of this water activity sure does wear the Mommies and Daddies out, so a few adult nights were definitely on the agenda. We dined at Cafe 30A on Monday night, and it was divine as always!

After a fun day at the beach on Tuesday, the Mommies took the babies to Seaside for dinner while the Daddies golfed. Of course, we needed a good photo session before we went!

I was able to squeeze my way into a few pictures on this trip. We played on the beach a little bit on Wednesday, and some nice man from Georgia took our picture.

We decided to dine at Stinky's Fish Camp on Wednesday night. The food is really good, and it is super kid friendly. We were able to snatch some cute pictures of the McGraths before heading out to eat. And of course, we had to stop in Seaside for ice cream again on the way home. Does everyone let their kids eat as much ice cream as I do on vacation?

We also decided to take some beach pictures while we were high on sugar.

And I sure don't care that my bra is showing in these next two pictures. I like them, and that is all that matters.

Getting back on track, Thursday was another beautiful day by the pool and the beach. Are you starting to get jealous of our weather yet?

Thursday night, all of the adults ventured out for date night at The V at Seagrove Beach. It is a new restaurant, and it was so yummy! They even had zebra print snuggies for the outdoor dining guests in case you got a little chilly. Just ask Kelly ;)

The last day of vacation came way too soon. Felix, Blair, and I went into Seaside to have lunch and just took our time. It was so nice to eat on the water, and soak in all the beautiful scenery.

We had such a wonderful vacation, and enjoyed making memories with the Driskell's and McGrath's. All the children were so fun, and had the best time playing together. It has been tough adjusting to the real world. Hold on tight though, bc Blair and I will be back at the same place in the same clothes next week, but with different faces! Getting so excited!!
