We made it home safely from our week at the beach. First and foremost I need to say that we had a wonderful time! The weather was pretty good, only a few thunderstorms but none that changed our plans any. It was really wonderful to spend some good quality time with my mom and Beth. We decided to leave a day early and drive half way and then rest up. Well, I guess we should have known that it wasn't going to be a good trip when Trenton started out crying in Capon Bridge. We stopped n B'ville to pick up mom and then we drove until about 6:00 or so and got a room for the night. We woke up on Saturday morning and headed the rest of the way to the beach. Saturday was Triston's turn to be whinny! We arrived at the resort around 11:30 and was able to get right in even though check in is usually 2pm. We unloaded, and I don't know what we would do if we didn't have the Suburban because it was packed, and decided to head right to the beach! I couldn't wait to put my toes in the sand! We took turns during the week between the pool and the beach. A couple of the days it was so sticky and hot that we had to stay at the beach just to get a nice breeze. We had a couple of meltdowns, and I mean ALL of us but overall it was a great time! I am just sorry that it had to end. The drive home was pretty much the same as the way down. Triston was occupied with the "in flight" movie, but nothing seemed to occupy Trenton! I am seriously rethinking that middle of the night driving or flying for next year!! Anyway I hope that you enjoy some of the pics. I am having a hard time deciding which ones to blog. I only took about 250 pictures, literally!! Reality hit me in the face when I got home from the beach and in my stack of mail was my agenda for pre-school week at work! Boo-hoo!!! It didn't take Trenton long to learn how to jump in the water! Of course he did have help, thanks Aunt Beth!!
Prime example of why we probably shouldn't have taught Trenton to jump in the pool, Triston was going to catch him!!!!
The resort has a great little playground and the boys had lots of fun. At night after dinner we usually took them out to the playground to play. Triston and Trenton made some friends while at the playground and they chased each other all over the place.
Trenton helped me bury Triston in the sand! Triston was a trooper but he didn't want to linger too long!
The boys and I off to the beach!!
Considering how horrible the two days of swimming lessons went, Triston did so good in the ocean. He would go out and jump the waves but once he got wiped out, it was off to the room or pool, he was over the ocean for the day.
Beach Beauties!!! It was great to spend some quality time with Beth. We don't get much of that anymore!
I guess Trenton is part ostrich! He was putting his head in the hole someone had dug that had filled up with water!
Trenton didn't seem to scared of the water either. He would lay in the waves and crawl around on the sand. The only time he got annoyed was when he got sand on his thumb!! Because he is a thumb sucker and I guess it didn't taste as good with sand on it!
My night out to dinner with the girls, and Kenny, at Drunken Jack's in Murel's Inlet. The food was pretty good but we had to wait almost 2 hours for a table. That is the main reason the boys stayed home! Thanks to mom and Cathy who watched them so I could go out.

Our last night at the beach! We went and stuffed ourselves at Crabby Mikes!!
I have so many more pics that I would love to share but it has taking me forever to do this.
