My Summer Vacation

My favorite summer vacation so far would probably have to be the Summer of 1996. We decided to go down to St. Augustine, Florida that year and we took Greg's grandparents with us. I had never been to a beach in my life so it was pretty exciting for me. Chantaye was about to turn 2 and she was so excited with everything! I think the best things about the trip was watching her little face as the water came washing up over her feet in the sand, and the joy and twinkle in her eyes when she would find sea-shells. My baby turned out to be quite the little water lover too, so unlike mommy ;) she loved to get out in the ocean with Greg and yell back to shore, "Look how far I am, mommy!" I can't swim for the life of me so of course I was so proud of my baby!

Greg and I went for late night walks on the beach, shhh we were sorta trespassing rofl! and it was so romantic being out there hearing the waves crash with nothing around but us and a gorgeous moon! I admit it was a tad scary too lol

We go back to Florida every few years now, and it seems to be a "baby charm" for us lol soon after our first trip we discovered I was pregnant with Bradley, and the last time we went we found out while we were there that little Angela was on the way. Hmm, maybe that's why we've headed north the last few years ;) lol

I dug up a shot of our first trip down to share with ya'll :)
