Vacation Day 1 (6/9/14)

Dear Gage and Gabe,

This year we went down to Miramar Beach, Florida again for vacation. We headed out on Monday morning when I got off work and made the 500 mile journey south. I was hoping to sleep some of the way, but the excitement of our vacation made that difficult to do. You boys were able to catch some shut eye, which made the trip a little easier on us.

You've got your blanket and your pup-pup - you're good to go

Sissy and Emily found a way to sleep - doesn't look too comfy to me

All nestled in

 We arrived around 3:30 that afternoon and immediately scoped out the condo. We stayed at the Sea Cabins again this year and the unit we stayed in this year is the exact same unit we stayed in 2 years ago. The new owner did a remodel of the place and it now has bunk beds in the closet off the living room, a full bath upstairs and a washer and dryer. She did a great job with the remodel and we were excited to see all the changes.

After we got the car unloaded and some things put away, Daddy and I went down to the grocery to get some things for the week. We also stopped by the fresh fish market and bought some shrimp for dinner. When we got back, we got you boys changed into your swim shorts and took a walk down to the beach. The water was beautiful and the sand was white.

Squinty face - that sun was bright :)

We went back to the condo to work on dinner. Sissy and Emily took you boys out to the pool while Daddy and I prepared our dinner. We brought garden fresh green beans, cabbage, beets, squash and zucchini to complement the grilled gulf shrimp. It was a delicious dinner and a perfect way to top off our first day of vacation.

Got your "body bump" suit on
