First Family Vacation

Beach Trip 2009

We went on our first family vacation August 13-16th to Gulf Shores, AL. We usually go to the beach in August to celebrate our anniversary. This year we stayed in Gulf Shores Plantation at Fort Morgan. It was very exciting and tiring at the same time. When we came into town, we stopped and got some fresh shrimp and I boiled it for supper. Yum! Then did our beach shopping and got JH his baby float and baby pool for the beach. The next day, we hit the beach and had gorgeous weather. John Huston loved playing in the baby pool filled with ocean water.

and then Lloyd and him went and played in the ocean.

After getting worn out playing he would drink his bottle and I layed him on his playmat under the umbrella and he took a long nap while Lloyd and I relaxed.

After he woke up, we headed to the pool and he had a blast meeting other babies and floating in his baby float. He also loved playing in the sand and tried to stuff handfuls of sand in his mouth.

We ate out at several good restaurants and even got to meet up with my friend Paula at Souvenior City. The only thing that dampened our trip, was that he did not sleep well at all. We were exhausted! It was well worth the family vacation but we were so ready to come home after 3 nights. Next year we will be running after him as he heads straight towards those waves!!
