Beach Vacation - Part 1



This past week we went on our highly anticipated, long awaited family beach trip!  Based on our travel experience last year, we decided to arrive early to get ahead of the traffic.  Since our rental contract made it clear that harassing the crew cleaning the house by waiting outside in our car would result in a delayed check-in, we decided to park at the nearest public access and walk back down to the beach-side of the house to casually check things out.  It was a win-win...the kids were able to play on the beach and I was able to satisfy the the "I wonder if the cleaning crew is done yet?" urge minus the stalker-like appearance :)  It must have worked, because it wasn't long before the realty company called saying we could go ahead and come get the key.

I love it when a plan comes together! :)

After we got settled in, we took all of the kids back out to play on the beach.  We were forced to cut our beach playing short and head back in for supper when it started raining.  Then on to bed for the kiddos as they were all getting pretty sleepy/crabby since they'd missed their afternoon naps.

Speaking of beds...C has been talking about sleeping in the top bunk of this bed ever since he saw a picture of it (several MONTHS ago)...I love how my kiddos get excited about the small things!



I may have experienced just the smallest amount of sadness when I tucked him in that first night...how is it that my baby is such a big boy?!?
