On the Road Again

Friday finally came and we could get on the road to our much anticipated beach vacation.  We were actually close to being exactly on schedule.  We told ourselves we wanted to leave by 8pm and we were in the car pulling out of the driveway at 8:19pm.  Not too shabby.
I turned around and asked Benjamin if he was excited to go to FL...I don't think he understood because he seemed less than thrilled.

He did pretty well through the night.  He slept from about 9pm-5am.  We stopped for breakfast around 7am and let Benjamin stretch his legs and then it was back in the car for the last couple of hours.  Thank goodness for portable DVD players (Thanks Brian and Emma)

Of course about 30min away from the condo, Benjamin decides its time for a nap :)

It actually worked out pretty well.  David was able to unload everything while I stayed in the car and let Benjamin snooze for a little while longer.
Once we got up to the condo, Benjamin was very intrigued by the beach and couldn't wait to get down there

We quickly put him in his swim gear and took off.  I was wondering if he was going to love the water as much as he did last year and after a few seconds on the beach, I didn't have to wonder anymore.  The kid LOVES it.  He charges out in the water with absolutely no fear. 

And he's having a blast with all the sand

So it's safe to say this years vacation is already a million times better than last year :)

Here's a couple shots of our condo...I don't think the pictures really do it justice though.  It's super nice!
