Beach trip

I've been slacking on blogging, but I've been busy.  I spent the first part of last week packing, planning and getting ready and then we spent 5 days at the beach! We went with my parents and A's family and had the best time. 

Just a quick overview of the trip...

We arrived Thursday afternoon and unpacked and settled in.  Thursday night wasn't very eventful; just getting ready to start the day Friday.  Friday was a great day!  Jacob had his first trip to the beach and the pool.  He had so much fun!  He loved the salt water, but didn't enjoy his first bite of sand quite as much!

He needed a quick nap

After lunch, A and his dad had a golf tournament to get to, so we all went to the pool and then dinner at the Crab Trap.  Dinner was great and we got a few pictures on the beach while we were there.

Jacob loved eating lemons!



Could he look any more like his Daddy?



Saturday we went shopping for the day and then to Baytowne Wharf for dinner.  We had a wonderful dinner at Acme Oyster House and Jacob loved watching all the people walk by.  And again, we got some cute pictures!

Sunday was back to the beach.  Jacob loved it just as much as the first time, and I guess it tired him out again.  He really enjoyed his naps on the beach!

Sunday evening we went to get some beach pictures before we left for dinner.  I love how these turned out!

We went to Mitchell's Seafood Company for dinner Sunday night.  It was my first time there, and the food was wonderful!  We packed up Monday morning and started back home.  A, Jacob, and I spent Monday night at my parents and drove home Tuesday morning. 

Needless to say, I was not thrilled to return home to the heat and humidity and to-do list that comes along with getting home from vacation, but Jacob seemed really happy to see his bed!  He stayed in his routine pretty well while we were gone, but he didn't sleep as well as he sleeps at home.  I'm sure it had a lot to do with sleeping in a pack and play, but I think it was also because Jacob got his first tooth in Florida!  It's not all the way there yet, but it's completely broken through his gum.  Surprisingly, Jacob didn't fuss too much about it.  I'll try to get a good picture to post.

I think this might be my longest post yet, so if you've made it this far, thanks!

Have a great day!
