Day 3
1. Monday morning we woke up to NO rain. Praise the Lord! Even though the forecast predicted bad weather and we still weren't in the clear, we woke up to NO rain! We were so excited we rushed out to the beach the minute we finished breakfast. We couldn't get out there fast enough we were so thrilled!
2. It wasn't raining, but it was windy. Made you walk sideways windy. Extremely windy. You get the picture. And if the sand blew all over you it didn't feel very good. It was prickly and it stung. My poor babies. Thankfully Austin went right to sleep with Granna holding him wrapped up in his beach towel. The picture below of a big bundle of beach towel is my baby boy sleeping.
3. I didn't get very many pictures on Monday because I was too busy sheltering myself from the wind and sand. Haha. But we still made the most of our morning.
4. It did rain that afternoon though. So we jumped in the car and rode through the little beach towns close by. Austin napped and Garrison asked questions and by the time we got back we were ready to make spaghetti. Yum, yum.
5. Garrison also painted a lot on Monday afternoon/evening. We came to reeeallly appreciate the little art case Granna picked up at Target for the little man the day before.
Day 4
1. Tuesday morning we woke up to an even better day weather-wise than the day before. God really blessed our vacation.
2. Austin was becoming more and more okay with the sand and the sound of the ocean and baby boy continued to take his morning naps on the beach. Yay!!
3. The water was still a little too rough for Garrison to enjoy so we dug a hole for him to play in. He loved it. He asked for a "pond" everyday.
4. Tuesday was a weird day for me because I was sick off and on most of the day. Thankfully it was just me and it didn't last long. I did get to go out and swim in the ocean that afternoon once I felt better.
5. Around late afternoon we all came in and got ready to go out to eat at Pineapple Willy's for the first time in years.
6. Turns out every other family in PCB had the same idea. We had a looong wait. Garrison and Austin both fell asleep in the car on the way there so we just let them sleep as long as possible since the wait was going to be at least an hour.
7. I ended up feeding Austin his baby food in the car after he woke up. It was interesting.
8. Once we finally sat down to eat we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The place may be a little overrated, but you can't beat sitting out on a pier listening to the ocean with a view of the sunset. Guess you just need to go at 4:30... and plan to stay all night so you don't miss the sunset.
9. And I saw a former student there! Crazy! It was neat catching up with her and her family so far away from home.
Day 5
1. Wednesday's weather was about as close to perfect as you can get. It. was. wonderful. Ahhh. Not sure if I can wait a whole year to go back again.
2. Austin took his morning nap on the beach. Again. This time he fell asleep with daddy holding him. He had a hard time taking his afternoon nap outside, but the morning nap was always easy breezy.
3. Garrison has become a lot more photogenic lately. For the most part, he's always up to having his picture made.
4. Daddy and Garrison even got to play baseball on the beach.
5. Daddy and Garrison also had the best time playing in another pond. Especially Garrison. It was his favorite thing. He may have enjoyed his ponds more than the dry sand. We were surprised.
6. Wednesday we stayed outside all day long and into the evening a little bit too before heading in for baths and grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. It was a super fun day.
Two down, one more vacay recap to go!
