We are enjoying the beach this week!

We made it to Perdido Key, Florida (for those of you that don’t know, it is on the border of Florida and Alabama)! It is simply gorgeous down here, and we are so glad the area is thus far unaffected by the oil spill. I wish I hadn't spent hours worrying about our vacation plans since everything seemed to turn out perfectly. My parents are here from Chicago and Lily's having a wonderful time with her grandma and grandpa. We take long strolls in the mornings and hunt for shells, then spend some time in the ocean and pool. Much to our dismay, the little hole in the wall restaurant has closed and we haven't been able to find a lunch place that compares. The last meal we had consisted of overcooked fish and my veggies were......green beans FROM A CAN. Oh well, we'll keep looking.

Best of all, we're having a wonderful time together as a family. There's nothing better than spending an entire week with my favorite people. Lily's fearless in the water, so we have been putting a little life jacket on her, stuffing her in a floaty and swimming out far from shore onto a fun sand bar. My mother never learned how to swim, but we're determined to get her out there. Adam bought a big adult floaty and I am going to mix up a super strong glass of courage for her :) We'll see how it goes!

I just love these family vacations. I enjoy the time together and I enjoy seeing Lily explore the world and learn new things. One of our friends recently suggested we all go camping together, but I think Lily's still too young. She naps, and goes to bed early, so unless we could find some camping tents with two bedrooms" we're probably going to wait a little while to camp!
