Beach Trip 2010

We had a wonderful family trip to the beach this year. James and I decided last minute to book a place to stay before the oil reached the gulf coast and ended up at Seacrest Beach in Florida. (This is the same place we went last year with friends). We had a cute little 2 bedroom house for a long 4 day weekend. The weather was perfect - just a few evening showers, pool wonderful, and no oil. Unfortunately, as of yesterday, I'm sad to say the oil has reached Florida. Claire had a great time playing in the sand this year. She loved moving the sand around from bucket to bucket and making little figures. She still did not like the waves much, but had a great time in the pool. While we were there, we had dinner at the Back Porch, Pompano Joe's and Bud n' Alley's. Of course we also made a visit to the Sugar Shack......ice cream is always a must! We did a little window shopping in Seaside and ended up with a pig stuffed animal for Claire. She had her own $$ from her grandparents for doing so well with her potty training (by the way she is OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED - whoo hoo) and insisted on using "her money" to buy the pig stuffed animal. It's the last thing she needed but it was cute and made her happy. We are already looking forward to another beach trip and have decided we may need an entire week next year!

Soaking it all in!

Claire's not getting near those waves unless she's being held.

See...they are fun!

Pool baby!

Getting ready to go eat seafood...yum!

Still waiting for a table...but worth the wait!

Bye Bye beach....hope to see you again soon!

Last night....relaxing on the couch with her new piggies!
