We decided to mix things up a bit for our vacation this year. We took a few short trips during the week instead of staying in one place the entire time. It worked out really well for our young brood, since doing the same thing too many days in a row makes a person cranky, even when it's vacation! We headed out of town Sunday and made it to IOP by lunch. The kids did great on the ride down and it was nice to have a 2 1/2 hour drive instead of a 4+ hour ride to the beach. We were on the beach by 2:30 and played the afternoon away in the sand and surf. This is the first year that everyone loved the water and sand instantly, which is great since we didn't have a whole week for them to get used to it before deciding to enjoy.
Lucy got to hang out with me while she was awake and watch the others play in the waves.
Loving it!
Once nap time rolled around I put her in the stroller and rolled her around until she went to sleep.
Sleeping in the shade. Thankfully my girl can sleep anywhere!
After all that beach fun we headed over to Shem Creek for a seafood dinner. Yum!
My kids have suddenly become obsessed with doughnuts and begged to have some for dessert. Thankfully we found a Krispy Kreme because no trip to the beach is complete without it!
Day 1 was a great success! You just can't go wrong with fun on the beach and yummy food!
