An Exciting Weekend in Our Neighborhood!

On Friday night, we packed our car full of unneccessary ridiculousness (bouncy, 2 pack n plays, travel swing, playmat, several suitcases, beach chairs, tents, 2 strollers, a float, etc etc...) we left Bailey behind with Eric's WONDERFUL Bailey-loving cousin, Ashlee, and drove out to Ponce Inlet to spend a few nights with my parents at a condo on the beach. It was the PERFECT first family vacation for Whitney! She got to go "swimming" in the pool, and dipped her feet in the ocean for the first time! She was such an amazing vacationer :) She hung out on the beach (after my panic attack re: sand and sunburn went away), in her swing and her pack n play...she took pictures and danced with Grandma...she fell asleep to the sound of the waves on the beach...and she watched the sunrise with mommy! What a GREAT weekend! THANKS AGAIN Mom and Dad!
The sunrise Saturday morning:

She fell asleep to the waves crashing:

Then we spent some time by the pool because I couldnt fathom bringing her down to the >gasp!< SAND!!

Such a fashionista

Daddy is soooo funny!!

We went to The North Turn, where NASCAR racing started....yummy food and great views!
Yes, we brought our 7-week-old to a bar:

Then we went back to the condo to admire the views and take a snooze on the porch:





While Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed some beach time:

Whitney loved spending time with her Grandma and Grandpa! She laughed for them and smiled at them allll weekend! They got some great snuggle time, too!


On Sunday, we packed up a ton of crap and trucked down to the beach. Whitney was a CHAMP! She loved the sound of the ocean and she smiled and talked the whole time! We had many compliments on her adorable bathing suit, and of course, on her pleasant personality :) She's the BEST!



Grandpa took Whitney for her very first dip in the ocean!! She loved it! :)





And even though, he couldnt be there in person, we were all thinking about Whitney's Uncle Jamey who arrived home safely in Boston after a great trip to Ireland, Germany, and Prague. Go Sox!



We had a WONDERFUL first family vacation, thank to Whitney's Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks again, Mom and Dad!!

Our weekend fun isnt over yet though!!
Our next door neighbors and very closest friends (literally and figuratively), brought home their precious twin boys today! Eric video-taped their homecoming and I tried to snap as many pics as I could! These two boys are SOOOO cute, and super sweet! We all cant wait to watch them grow up with our Whitter-bug :) Such fun awaits us all!
