The Adventure Continues

Vacationing with young children is very different than vacationing sans children. It is not nearly as relaxing. I've actually had to get INTO the pool, lazy river, and ocean instead of just sitting beside them with a book. I'm barely halfway through the first book (and likely the only book) of the trip.

On the other hand, Punky gets to spend lots of time with Mom and Dad together! She ate her first sand. Felt the salty ocean tickle her toes outside my womb- the same ocean, the same beach where she first felt the ocean from inside my womb. And she tried her hand at golf. Not bad for it only being Wednesday!

We had some rain. We had some late meals and missed naps. But all in all, the adventure has been pleasant. And it's not over yet!

    1. We definitely needed the time away. Wish we had the time off work and the money to do it more often! There's so much I'd like to show Harper!

  3. yay!! You know, we had friends who always said, we'll take a vacation (or go somewhere special) when the kids are older. Well, we didn't subscribe to that philosophy; as evidenced by the camping trip to the World's Fair in Knoxville when Thomas was 2 and you were 3 months... and all those other fun camping trips, etc. Sure, it's a little more work and maybe not totally "restful," but your dad and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. And we like to think that some of those early experiences helped shape your (and your brother's) love for the outdoors, and your sense of family. So, keep doing what you're doing!! LOVE YOU!

    1. I did threaten no more vacations till she's 27, but then I took a nap and decided we'll likely do this again before then!
