Well so much for updating the blog while I was at the beach!! We had a great time and I am so glad we went. When we saw the weather we were a little hesitant but it was so nice every day. We hardly had a cloud in the sky. We left around 7pm Friday night and drove about 45 min and then stopped for a late dinner and to feed WK. It worked out well because after our stop they both slept the rest of the way. Wade was so excited he could barely contain himself.
We spent all day Saturday on the beach. We were afraid it was going to be our only nice day so we let Wade skip his nap and just play all day. He had a blast. He is at the perfect age for the beach. It was so much harder this year because of my sweet WK. I was so worried about her getting burnt even under the umbrella. She did sleep in a little beach tent for her morning naps and that worked well. We would just take turns in the afternoon with her. I do not want to rush her growing up but I am excited for next Summer when she is running around with Wade!! We stayed on the beach all day and then went to dinner to Zaxbsy's for dinner. Sunday was windy but really nice too. We played most of the day and then went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and then over to Barefoot to let Wade ride the Carousel. We had a great time and it was so nice to have Poppy and Nana there too to help with the kids. Josh and I even took a walk on the beach alone one night to the spot where we got engaged-6 years ago (almost). We laughed because we both felt so strange walking without pushing strollers!! Oh how things have changed in the last 6 years.
We hated to leave Monday. Wade was pitiful and kept asking why we had to go home. He LOVES the beach so much. We just did the pool on Monday so we wouldn't get all sandy. Traffic was horrible and it took us over 5 hours to get home. We did stop in Wilmington to walk around and get lunch/ice cream and that was a lot of fun. It was nice to break the trip up some with little one's. Wade is perfect in the car (he always has been) and WK did really good but she just doesn't like the car seat when she is awake. Thankfully she only cried for about 15 min the entire trip. She slept great each night and I am so thankful for that. When we got home Wade was so sad. I found him sitting on the steps with his head down and he said he was so sad that we left the beach and he was going to "sit and wait for the beach." The next morning he woke up and said "I don't feel very good" when I asked what was wrong he said "I am not at the beach" :) We can't wait to go back again-hopefully some time in June or July. We are going for an entire week in August hopefully and I know Wade is going to be in heaven!!
