Back to reality

At the end of August we went to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week long vacation.  I'm not sure why it has taken me this long to post about it... maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was great and it always stinks coming back from vacation.  It was pretty great to spend the whole week together, lounging by the pool, playing with Adelyn at the beach, taking a morning walk on the beach, eating some fabulous seafood and treats... ok, I'm sure you get the point. 

Unfortunately we had to travel home a day early because of that crazy Irene but we didn't want to get stuck there and didn't want to be driving through it on the way home. 

We left on Saturday morning to drive down at about 3am to beat any traffic and we made great time!  I was pretty anxious about the 8+ hour car ride with a 2 year old but we had plenty of movies and toys and Adelyn even slept part of the way.  I stress part of the way since I thought she would sleep right through getting her up and putting her in the car at 3am but she stayed awake for a few hours.  Ms. Inquisitive had a lot of questions early on and I'm pretty sure before we had even left our street she was asking how far it was and if we were there yet. 

I didn't get as many pictures as I would've liked

but there are still a few that captured the fun we had!

Lifeguard girl!

This was the biggest snowball ever and only $1! 

At this point she had already eaten about 2/3 of it, hence that face she is making.

1-2-3 JUMP!

Worn out baby, and yes that is Cheetos stain on her face

We took one family picture and it turned out great!

Funny, right?! 

Windy + sun quickly setting + active 2 year old = 1 amusing photo shoot!

This is what it was really like!
