BEACH countdown... ONE DAY!

We are finally going to the beach. It's been about two years since we've been able to go to Florida (or to any beach, for that matter) because I was pregnant and I didn't want to travel very far. When you're pregnant, you don't want to travel to the end of your drive way sometimes. So to put myself in the position of driving six hours somewhere seemed like a death sentence.





Here's a picture of the condos that we'll be staying in. These condos are called "Palm Beach" but they are located on Orange Beach near Perdido Key. It's the closest beach we could get to Florida in the shortest driving time, five hours. We wanted something close because of Hannah. Although she travels well, five hours is pushing it for a seven month old baby. She did great on the trip to Houston for the first three hours. But the fourth hour, she was over it. So we thought this might be our best bet.

We are taking our neice and nephew with us, Hayley, and T.J. It should be a wild time. James and I are used to going to the beach ALONE- just the two of us. So this trip, with two kids and our little baby in tow should make a very interesting vacation. I use that word, 'vacation', lightly. I have a feeling we'll be spending our days putt-putting, going to water parks, and whatever else that is not relaxing!! Either way, it will be awesome to get away and put my feet in the sand for a few days.
