Soooo.....we were going to go on vacation as a family for Spring Break, but then Todd realized he didn't have enough vacation time, but I still wanted to go to the beach and get away for the week. So, once everyone said I was pretty much crazy to take the kids and drive 18 hours by myself, I decided that is exactly what I would do! I took our babysitter (and family friend) with me. She is a very responsible and mature 17 year old whom the kids adore. We had a lot of fun and although the drive was LOOOONNNGGGGG and the worst part of the whole experience, friends of ours that were vacationing in the same spot helped me out with driving and we also hung out with them down there, so the kids were entertained. We went to North Redington Beach, FL. Nice place...a little busier than I would like because the beach was so crowded, but it was fine! It is far enough south (St. Pete/Clearwater area) that the ocean was warm and the temperature was PERFECT with no humidity! Lots of sunshine.
Everyone raves about the pretty water and beaches in Destin, FL so I would really like to take the family there sometime. But Spring Break is just too risky that it could be colder than we would like.
Here are a few snapshots from our trip! We missed having daddy with us, but are going to Virginia Beach this summer and he gets to go to that one! I am going to try to do better about blogging.........since I have been averaging one post a month, which is unacceptable!
No comments about the flat bill. This is a battle-I do not like it at all!
Claire loves the beach!

Me and my babes! (again pretend you do not see a flatbill hat....)
