I must admit that I didn't feel like a beach trip was a good idea this year. But my husband loves the beach and had to go, so I did some research to find a place that would work for us. The Surf Side Hotel was perfect! We stayed in an oceanfront room with the most gorgeous view. Best of all, the room had a two person jacuzzi tub right next to the sliding glass door. Tyler thought it was his own personal swimming pool :-) The trip worked out better than I ever imagined it would and it was so nice to have the pool and the beach so close. We had a wonderful time and it was SO nice to spend so much time with my two boys.
I'm so glad my friend Barbara told me to get a beach tent for Tyler. He took his morning nap in the tent every day except for one! He loved the pool and didn't seem bothered by the cold water. We loved seeing him kick and splash. We can't wait to go back next year!
We feel very fortunate that the hurricane held off until the end of our trip. We were supposed to check out Thursday morning but when we found out on Wednesday night that everyone was being told to leave in the morning, we were really worried about the traffic. We decided to pack up and we left at 10:30, returning home at 3:20 a.m. Tyler slept all but 15 minutes. Dan was such a trooper while packing up the car, driving the entire way, and then unpacking (we had A LOT of stuff!)
Dan and I have always been very spoiled when we return from our vacations because my mom cleans our house from top to bottom and fills vases all over the house with roses. We walked in and looked around, amazed at our "new" house! She is so wonderful! We know all of Tyler's grandparents were missing him but we sent pictures every day. While getting his picture taken, Tyler LOVES to look away as soon as the flash goes off. He also enjoys looking down at his feet. We managed to catch a few of his smiles though. :-) My mom had beach pictures already framed around the house!
