We went on a little beach vacation this past week. Carlton was off on Friday, so we decided to head down for a few days of sun and sand!
The boys did great on the long ride! They are super excited to finally be out of the car and at the condo!
We stayed at a friends condo and were within walking distance of several of our favorite eating spots! This is a picture of the boys enjoying lunch by the water at Sea -n- Suds.
Carlton and I laugh, because when it was just us, we would plan out our whole beach trip around which restaurants we were eating each night! We still have our favorites, but they are no longer the ones we usually end up eating. We have to go to places that have playgrounds, sand mountains or other fun activities! Luckily, those places usually have pretty good food as well!
John Turner insists that we eat at the Crab Trap on every beach trip we take! They have an awesome playground on the beach and this just makes the eating experience with him much more enjoyable!
I have a picture of John Turner with this same bucket on his head when he was this age! We take one every year!
Of course, after dinner each night there was a little night time swimming!
I didn't know how Judson would react to the sand and the beach in general. John Turner did not really like it at all at this age. Judson didn't mind it at all! He really doesn't mind anything! He just goes with the flow and enjoys whatever we do and is happy where ever we take him! ANGEL BABY!
John Turner stayed on the beach more this year. He was really into building sand castles villages with Daddy. He still wasn't crazy about the ocean water. He would venture in a little, but the waves still terrified him!
I brought Judson's little baby pool with us. We set up an umbrella and filled that pool up with some water and that boy was happy as could be!
Both boys still love a pool! Judson enjoyed using the float John Turner used to love at this age. John Turner is getting to be quite the swimmer! He is getting braver and braver. I am thinking that by next year he will be swimming without his puddle jumper!
Luckily, this Momma got about two hours each afternoon of alone beach time in my chair while all three boys napped! HEAVEN!!!
Still love taking beach trips with this man! It is nothing like it used to be, but we wouldn't change it for the world! When we first married our only concern at the beach was waking up in time to put our towels out by the pool when it opened so that we would have the best pool chairs! HA HA! Now we are completely exhausted after a vacation!
John Turner's other pick for dinner is always The Hangout. He loves the sand mountain, the tunnel through the sand, the music, the foam and the bubbles! He has the BEST time here! Good thing, too! Because we had a long wait for a table!
Sweet little Judson just hung out on Daddy's shoulders and enjoyed all of the craziness!
My sweet and perfect family!
We just had the most enjoyable time on our trip! We look forward to going back again very soon!
