Beach Recap

Well, we are back from the beach and my heart is very sad. It went by entirely to fast! There were lots of good memories made on this trip!

After a long drive down on Wednesday we finally made it to our condo around 8:00 p.m. Our palns were to leave around 12 and be there by 6:00. However, my brother can be a bit of a slow poke at times and we did not end up leaving until 2:00. Needless to say, after a six hour drive in the car we were all starving and a little cranky. Several people recommended Jake's Grill to us and since it was just up the road from our condo, we ate there on our first night.

I set my alarm for 5:30 on Thursday morning so I could see this....

It wasn't easy getting up that early and this boy sure wasn't happy about it, but the view that greeted us as we walked down to the beach was well worth it.

Beach Time!!!

We were so proud of our cute little sandcastle. Well, we were until two grown men walked up with real shovels and built a mansion out of sand right beside it. :(

Hi Mom!

After several hours of soaking up the rays on the beach it was time to find some food. LuLu's provided us with full bellies, a few new shirts, and lots of sweet memories! P.S. if you decided to go to LuLu's do not, I repeat do NOT (Daddy) feed the birds!! They will continue to circle you as you try to enjoy your meal.

Poor Wills had to deal with all the pictures mother insisted on taking. Good thing he's used to it! ;)

Right after this picture was taken Mother Nature decided to ruin my plans of going back to the beach and soaking up the sun. She did this by taking away the sun and replacing it with rain, thunder, and lightening.

Please ignore my hair in the following pictures. We had planned to take pictures on the beach as a family and let's just say it was a tad windy.

Right after we snapped the above pictures more dark clouds rolled in and it started raining again. We decided to head back to the condo and order pizza. We sat out on the balcony and watched the thunderstorm over the beach for a while. As you can see, it got pretty bad for a second.

Thankfully, the storms cleared out and it was nothing but sweet sunshine the next day!

Around lunch time we decided to go ride go-carts! We were in the lead....

Until Sy came and passed us. We lost. I contributed it to the extra weight Willie had to drive around with him. Ha!

Lunch at The Hangout! My favorite restaurant of the whole trip!

The view from our table!

Desert Hamburger!! Super cute!

Yummy!

Back to the beach after a great lunch!!

The next morning it was time to leave. Bye Bye Beach!
