In July, we took our first annual "Mommy and Kiddo Road Trip" to Navarre Beach, FL. Three Moms, four kids, one mini van, and enough snacks to feed an army for a week - what more could we need? The trip was such a wonderful learning and bonding experience.
What I learned from 8 days on the road with a group of my favorite people:
1 - Silence, even for a moment, is always golden.
2 - I do not appreciate the way sand feels anywhere other than on my feet.
3 - Having first time experiences through the innocent eyes of an child, melts the heart like none other.
4 - It is wonderful to have a hug from your friends, even when you see them multiple times a day.
5 - Patience is even harder to come by than energy when I have the flu.
6 - Having friendships in which you can disagree yet not loose respect for one another, is priceless. (Love you ladies!)
Raymond's Grandma had us over to her house one day. She is an artist, and opened her studio for our budding artists to create. So fun.
After having the stomach flu for the first three days of the trip, I decided I needed a breadk, so we skipped the beach and headed to the splash pad. 
Raymond's Grandpa took us out for the day on his boat! Awesome!
"Mom, there are still some refried beans on that spoon."
Boston LOVES the water, especially the salt water. He kept putting his face in a the smacking and licking his lips. 
The was the sound side (above and below). The water was calmer there. 
This photo I took just before sunset on the gulf side. Yes, the sand was really that white. :)

Yay!!! You're back. I just saw these pop up in my reader and got super excited! Holy, looking back at pictures of Cambry from a year ago makes you realize how fast time really goes. She has grown into such a little lady.
