The Long Awaited Beach Post


Yeah, right... I'm sure all of you have been checking back anxiously awaiting this post (haha). I've just been slow getting it up because, well, you see, this week is this week called VBS. And VBS week - um, it is kinda busy for me. And the 2 weeks leading up to VBS? Yeah, those are pretty busy too. So while I have very little energy left in my body, I decided that maybe I had enough to finally do this post...so here it is.



Our "babymoon" was fantastic! We spent the first few days with my family - mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. It was great spending some time with them. We haven't been on a family vacation since I graduated from high school, so it was about time, even though they were only with us for a few days.


Of course I had to take some pictures......
This is little B-Man "surfing" in the really cold ocean water! And this is his ride on "those toys" that he LOVED!


And here is a whole family shot!!!


Daddy took a few pictures for Clark and I on the beach... We took all of these pics at the totally wrong time of day, but hey, whatever works with a 3 year old!!!





After the fam left, we had a lot of time left for us, and we relished in doing NOTHING together. We wandered around town, found a few great "hole in the wall" restaurants to eat at, did some shopping, read and slept on the beach, and took a few nice, long walks. It was so great to have some down time. The past year and a half have been pretty overwhelming for us as a couple, so it felt good to have time to unwind and remember how great we have it to be married to each other. We reflected on all we have been through and how much stronger our marriage has become. We daydreamed about Little Bit and all of the things coming up for us. And we just had a some good time to enjoy each other - something we get very little of these days.


We were so glad to have that time away, and came back refreshed and renewed - ready to take on the few months ahead of us. I guess our next beach trip will be with a baby in tow - and I must say that I can't wait!
