So we made it! An eight hour trip took ten hours but that's ok. We had two good stops to get out and stretch our legs. I mean, it wasn't like a big ball of fun or anything, but we made it here to Jacksonville Florida. This first day Jacob has been hanging with us and he'll start working tomorrow so that will change things a bit. Everyone (including Mommy) was cranky this morning with a lack of good sleep but after naps, things turned around a bit. It hasn't been "smooth sailing" (you know I'm all about honesty) but I think we will be glad we did this together. Here are some photos from our first day.

| Of course then Elli had to use the float |

These pictures capture the first time we have ever really been to the beach to play. Let me tell you - it was a hit! Jackson did JUST what I thought he would do, sit in the sand and dig. Elli did just what I thought she would do, run around like a crazy person.

| What could be better? An entire beach to dig dig dig! |
