Back to the Beach 2008














We just returned from Santa Rosa Beach, FL which was a week in our own little paradise! After having to drag all of our crap to the beach last year I finally convinced Kyle to rent a house right on the beach this year. It was the best decision. I honestly don't think anyone was ready to come home- Jackson asked if this was our new house. No son, we did not win the lottery! We are so tired from travelling but I thought I'd share some cute photos (so many to choose from) and recap our trip. We pretty much got up, ate breakfast and headed straight out to the beach. Jackson and Kyle had so much fun playing on the beach and digging for clams. I spent most of the beach time with Caroline trying to convince her that the sand was not supposed to be placed on top of her head. Pretty much she was covered from head to toe in a matter of seconds of hitting the beach. But that's ok- going to the beach is a sandy, messy experience I had to remind myself every day. Many showers were taken daily- but that's ok too I guess. Jackson wore his shades day and night (as you can see in the photo at breakfast)- and yes, we even let the child have fruit loops for the first time in his life (that's what vacation is about, right? good ol junk food). He called them the colored cheerios. I just hope he can deal with real life tomorrow morning when his cereal choices will be Kashi and Raisin Bran!! We shopped, explored other beach towns and ate so much food (and consumed beach beverages of course!). Anyway, we are back and getting ready for summer here in Atlanta! Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend!
