Summer Beach Vacation

We had our annual beach vacation June 18th - 22nd in Santa Rosa Beach , Florida. Santa Rosa is my favorite spot as it not crowded and has a real beach town feel. Isabelle was so excited about going to the beach. Honestly, she would ask "when are we going to the beach" almost every day for the last 2 months. On travel day, she would keep asking, are we there yet? She got very frustrated with us when we finally got to the beach and didn't go straight to the beach. We had lunch at JamBone, I did a little shopping at the outlet malls, went to the beach toy mega store, and then to the grocery store. She was just a little bit irritated with us! We had a fabulous time as always and I hate that it is already over. I think we should start going a couple of times a year - I want to plan a trip for the fall when it is a little cooler. The beach is only like 3.5 hours from here! Here are a few pictures from the trip:


This is from the very first day when we finally made it to the beach. Look at her smile - she was so excited!
Second day - first full day at the beach. She got right to business at making sand castles.

Daddy and Isabelle. She is all set to go in the water now :-)
Chillin at the pool. We got a little too much sun the first 2 days.


PS - I am going to try to be better at writing on my blog. I have been a little lazy as I always feel like I have to write a book - ha ha. I am sure nobody wants to read a book so I will try to write short bursts .
