Vacation

Noah had his first vacation. It was definitely quite an adventure! First, we left Friday afternoon (at 2:30 pm). By 9:30 that night, we'd only made it to Emporia VA. We finally gave up and found a hotel for the night. Noah woke up at 5:30 the next morning and we were on the road by 6:30. This day went much smoother then Friday and we learned we need to drive early in the day so that Noah isn't so grumpy. We made it to Charleston by about 2:00 and checked into the scariest motel on earth at 3:00. Erin came out and met us, then we drove to Susan's house and went out to dinner. Noah was an absolute angel! We went back to the hotel after dinner and then proceeded to try to sleep. between stupid truckers and a bull frog, it was a long night. Sunday morning we met up with Erin again and then went into downtown Charleston. We checked out the open air market and then spent some time at the pool in Susan's neighborhood.



We grabbed dinner with Erin at California Dreaming, and then we were on the road again to meet my parent's up in Myrtle Beach!

We camped with my parent's for the rest of the week- in a fully air conditioned trailer of course. Since Noah was too young to wear sun screen, we didn't actually do all that much, but I enjoyed having a week with Joe and Noah and my parents and found it pretty relaxing. We went to dinner several times, and made it out to Barefoot Landing (which sucks major donkey butt by the way- they are the most inaccessible place I've ever been to!). I also caught up on my reading!
We bought this outfit for Noah, but he kinda outgrew it before he really got to wear it.


and this is him on the beach, doing his favorite thing(sleeping),and touching sand for the first time...



He also met his great grandparent's while down there! Excuse the tilt on the first one, I forgot to rotate it.



We're glad to be back home and back to our regular routine, but it was fun!
