Winter Beach Trip

Last year we went to the beach for AG’s b’day, Lu was at a difficult age, it was dreary and rainy almost the whole weekend, and looking back on the post altogether not our favorite trip, but it was still a nice way to finish up winter and get in the mind set for Spring and Summer. This year we went again and we all had fun and the weather was amazing! It’s amazing what a difference a year makes! It was just a weekend trip, but we jam packed it with family time, and we had a blast!

We left Friday morning, later than we wanted due to some ipad difficulties that I’d rather not remember. The kids did awesome in the car. They even dozed off for a bit, until we hit some random pockets of traffic. Why is it that kids instantly wake up when the car stops?

It seemed to take forever, but we finally made it, and they went right to playing with cousins.

We went for an early dinner that night to McGuire’s, and I could not believe they were able to accommodate a party of 15, but they did, and the kids did great! It was a miracle that we all got out of the house and to the restaurant by 5, a miracle!

We went straight to our rental that night, and put the kids down in their rooms. I was so proud of them! They went right to sleep and barely made a peep all night!

Saturday, we played outside (we were on the bayside) and walked down to the beach access to meet up with my parents. It was crazy beautiful, crisp with not a cloud in the sky! Just what we all needed after a week month of crazy weather and sickness!

Then we went to Flounders for the party. The kids played on the playground, ate, and had a treasure hunt. It was so relaxing and fun for everyone!

Saturday night, we actually went out to eat again! Party of 15? Anyone? We had what else, but pizza! Lu devoured some spaghetti!

Then it was back to the rental for another peaceful nights sleep, thank God for that!!!

Sunday might have been the prettiest and most fun morning. The kids got up and ate breakfast, then played right outside our house with Uncle Faris while we packed, then we had a picnic at the park!

AG was so sweet with Lu! She played with her the whole time we were at the park and even at her own birthday party!

They We were so worn out, they slept almost the whole way home! Can I get a hallelujah?!

It was a whirlwind weekend, but it was so fun. We made a ton of memories and I am so ready to get back to our little routine!
