Day 1 and 2 of Vacay

Hello from Florida!

We made a semi-cross country trip to Florida in 1 vehicle with 4 adults, 2 toddlers, 2 suitcases, 2 playards, 2 duffel bags, 2 golf club sets, 2 portable high chairs, 2 over night bags and 6 much needed movies.

Day 1:
Eli was such a trooper! We drove 8 hours to Mississippi. He watched his movies, ate a snack, we stopped for lunch in Shreveport then played on the boardwalk. He ran and ran in the hot sun. Enough for him to take a 2 hour nap on our second half of the trip to Hattiesburg, Miss.

Eli and Colton packed in at 8:30 a.m.


This is Eli's second time to stay in a hotel. The first time he was 5 days old. Mommy and Daddy were delirious and thought that we MUST make an appearance at our 10-year high school reunion.

Eli did great at the hotel. He loved jumping on the bed, running up and down the halls, and the FREE breakfast in the morning. He ate 2 yogurts, toast and 2 bananas. He was getting his money's worth.


Day 2:
We drove from Hattiesburg to Destin - about a 4 hour drive. Eli was once again an awesome traveler. We got to the condo around 4:00 p.m. and headed to the beach within the hour.

Here are some of the pics:

First steps on the sand - a little apprehensive. Contrary to the look of pain on Eli's face, the sand was not hot.


10 steps in. Still not loving the sand.


Finally, at the water!

Hanging with Papaw.

Starting to like the sand. New toys helped!

Yay for Vacay!
