Vacation!

We had the most amazing time last week on vacation! Thankfully, we went just before the oil from BP hit the beaches. My heart is broken for the Florida coast. I grew up enjoying so many wonderful vacations on those beaches. I'm so sad that Lorelai will probably not get to enjoy the same vacations as she grows up. This is going to effect the beaches for a long time, and that just breaks my heart!

So we arrived at the beach house around 1:00 a.m. Saturday. The trip was long and slow, and I was so thankful to see that little beach cottage! Lorelai traveled better than we ever could have hoped! She slept most of the way and never once cried or fussed. I was afraid she wouldn't sleep once we got her out of the carseat and into bed, but she went right to sleep. I am so thankful that God has blessed us with such a chill baby!

Our first day at the beach was a success. Dad and Jeremy set up Lorelai's tent for us before they headed out to find a deep sea fishing trip, and we enjoyed a nice afternoon in the sunshine. Lo slept most of the time, which was fine with us! Mom and I got to tan, chat, and enjoy the beautiful, crystal clear water! Saturday night, the five of us headed to Boon Docks for dinner. If you ever get the chance to visit this area, you've GOT to check out this place! The 2 hour wait was more than worth it!

Toward the end of dinner, Tyler called Dad to let him know that he and Abbie had landed, so he headed to the airport to pick up the rest of the crew! We were so excited that the 2 of them were finally there with us!

Oh, the fun the 7 of us had for the next four days...
