A couple weeks ago we headed down south to FL for the beach! As tradition would have it, we drove 5 hours and stopped and got a hotel room.. Grant's FAVORITE! He loves opening the door, I used to be the SAME WAY! As soon as we got there, we changed clothes and hit the pool!
We ordered pizza and called it a night... WELL.... they went to sleep at 10 and were up at 5. They slept GREAT, Franklin and I, not so much! We then went and had the free breakfast and then hit the road!
This is how they looked the next morning... you can see how tired they are!
When we got to FL we went to Margaritaville and waited for Papa and DeeDee to arrive so we could get in to the house. That is when a series of events started happening that made the trip earn its name "Vacation from Hell". Although the trip was still fun.. things continued to happen. Im not gonna give you a "play by play" but in short.. Stolen credit card, therefore shut off, stolen shoes {brand new shoes}, new expensive sunglasses lost in the ocean, sea sick deep sea fishing, sun burns, both boys had upper respiratory infections, Cole vomitting in the night, both kids hated the beach, Cole ATTACHED TO ME {I mean.. letting NO ONE come near him or no one else could hold him}... just continued events like that! OH well... it was beautiful weather and we still had fun.. here are a ton of pics!
This made for weird tan lines.
Sick baby :(
Fell asleep while fixing his lunch!
Pontooning
OOOOH... I forgot something.. the very 1st night Tol pushed me in the pool with my clothes on and it TERRIFIED Cole.. he would scream and shake if Tol came near me or him. He's STILL scared of his once "Favorite" Uncle! :( Its KILLING Tol!
Eating Calamari.. which Im pretty sure is what made him puke.
Grant devouring chocolate cake!
Dreamland Ribs.. a stop we made coming home!
The first night we saw the ocean (BEFORE G got sick) he went straight in with his clothes on!!!
BEFORE he pushed me in the pool!
Grant trying an oyster!
HAPPY DAY
The end!
