Footprints in the sand...

We left last Saturday morning and had a very uneventful drive down! However, it seemed to be the LONGEST drive ever to the beach! The kids did pretty well until the last part, and frankly, Nick and I weren't doing so well either. We were all very tired of being in the car and couldn't wait to just get there and walk around. We had to stop about 4 times between lunch and potty breaks, and that always breaks the momentum...but what are you going to do?!?

Once we finally arrived, it was great checking out the condo...a huge 4 bedroom with kitchen, sitting area and 3 bathrooms. This is definitely one of the nicest condos I've ever stayed in. We ordered pizza from Joey's Pizza, which is one of our favorite pizza joints in PCB. After that, we decided to check out the beach. We just couldn't stay away any longer! Even though everyone was tired and neither Bradley or Rachel had slept ONE minute the entire way down, we all headed to the beach. It was absolutely beautiful and since it was about 8:00, the sand was very cool. Bradley LOVED it and just crawled around in it. I'm sure it was like a huge sandbox to him. Rachel loved it all...the pool, the sand, the very tip of the ocean, where the waves have already broken and it's just a little splash of water.

After enjoying the beach for an hour or so, we came inside, got baths and got ready for bed. The first night, Bradley slept on a twin mattress on the floor in our room. He loved it with all the pillows around him and his blankets. He slept great. Rachel slept with Gege and Papa.
