This week has been labeled the "Florida Fun Zone"... we went with some friends to the beautiful beaches of Seaside for an entire week! This is Ava's second trip to the beach, but her first she was only 6 months, so this one was much more enjoyable.
Her first trip out she wasn't sure of it all. She kept trying to "dust" the sand off her hands and when it wouldn't go away she kept looking at me saying "uh mommy uh". She is a little bit of a "miss priss" and hands being dirty just isn't her fav. Then she joined her dad for a walk into the water and she was completely intrigued by it all. We ended up at the pool most days and Ava showed us her swimming skills. Kicking and kicking; jumping from the sides... it was all new to see for us since most of her swimming has been with pool adventures with her nanny!
Our week included Bud & Alley's for lunch one day, Seaside for music in the park, outlet shopping in Destin, night golf on date night (reminds me how much I miss playing!), Shipwreck Island's water park on family day, Goatfeather's for dinner, The Back Porch for dinner, Pier Park in PCB (they are getting classy believe it or not!), lunch at the Gravel Road and the finale for us ladies... Spa Blu (one of my top 3 spas now, ha!). Lots of card playing and true "laughing out loud"!
A few nicknames came out of the trip that I thought I should share... "Ava the Behava" was bestowed on her by our friend James (or as Ava says "Ames"). Ahh, makes me proud! And the "Text Twins"... our sitters who came along to help with the little girls and did an incredible job. But lets just say their cell phones never seemed to leave their fingertips! iPhone guru - my hubby. He just got his new gadget before we left, so we had to hear ALL about it on our trip (of course I want one now). Good times...
We consider it a blessing to enjoy vacations and relaxation. I can't wait for many more memories and Fun Zones in our future!!
