We left home yesterday with the car packed to the max and filled with much excitement. We set off on our first family vacation to Seaside, Florida.
After about 9 hours in the car we made it to our first stop, Dothan, Alabama. Lily Grace did awesome and it is amazing how listening to the same Elmo music CD over and over again can keep you entertained. (Matt and I- not so much!)
Gran (my mom) drove up on Friday evening and we all went down to relax at the hotel pool.
On Saturday morning we visited with family and had a wonderful meal and great time. Lily Grace got to see Honey (her great-grandmother) and meet Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Pam and cousins Jessica and Zane. She absolutely adored them! We were treated to a delicious lunch and had a lot of fun. Oh! And less I forget, Shasta the cat. Lily Grace LOVED this cat. Shasta on the otherhand, well surely the recovery time won't be that long. HA! HA! It's the fist time Lily grace has really been up close and personal with a cat so....
We left Dothan Saturday afternoon and arrived with what seemed like a million other people going to the same place.
Seaside is beautiful and the cottage we've rented is so cute.
Once we settled in and aqauinted ourselves with the area a little, we took Lily Grace down to the beach for her first feel of white sand between her toes. Now for those of you who know Lily Grace, she isn't particularly fond of thigs stuck to her and the sand was no exception. She's not quite sure about it. Nonetheless, she is really enjoying this whole vacation concept and all the extra time with mommy and daddy.
We are already having the best time and can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
