Spontaneous Vacation Day One

So we had a last minute offer to stay at my grandparents' condo in Myrtle Beach this weekend and we took it!  This is a big deal for us.  We don't usually do spontaneous - especially with a two year old and an infant.  But, we decided to go for it.  I'm so glad we did!  We have been able to hang out as a family and focus on each other.  ]

We left New Bern Friday night at 7pm (Jackson's bedtime) and he didn't make a peep the whole way.  I figured Elli would fall asleep, but no, she did not. She knew Jackson was sleeping and we told her she had to talk quietly and SHE DID.  She talked quietly to herself THE ENTIRE 3 HOURS!!!  Oh well!  We got in at 10:30 and it took us until about midnight to get everyone in bed.  Even with that late night, Elli still managed to wake up at 7:30 am.

We spent today trying out Broadway at the Beach and then in the afternoon we hit up the aquarium.  Elli and I went out for a little late night shopping while Jackson was getting a bath with Daddy.  You know Elli is tired when she said about 15 times walking down the hotel hallway, "Mommy, I'm sooo tired!"
Elli took this picture!






Such a good Dad!

Build A Bear!!!



And again...Elli took this picture!

The Maryland tree!  Daddy was excited =)


How awesome is that?!

On the way there, Elli said she wanted to see sharks.  She got her wish!


They swim over your head...it really was pretty neat.




Dinner time!!

Just so you know it wasn't all a piece of cake..this is how we had to keep Jackson happy during dinner.  Hey - you do what you gotta do!

Yep - she is tired!

L.O.V.E. them

Day one of vacation:  FUN
