Destin!

We just got home from a week in Destin. It was Noah's first trip to the beach and it was truly one of the best family vacations we've had. I wasn't sure how he would like the sand and the waves, but he took to it so quickly!

We had a few buckets and shovels for building sand castles and of course, Noah enjoyed stomping down the sand castles as much as he liked building them. But he does that with our lego's at home so that wasn't a big surprise.

The weather was perfect (not too hot) so we really didn't do much besides spend time at the beach. I knew Noah would warm up to the ocean if he just got in the water and gave it a chance, but he really surprised us with an adventurous streak right away. He would have run out into the water all by himself if we'd had let him! One of his favorite things was when David would take him out into slightly deeper water and then David would bend down so the water seemed really deep and then when the waves came, they'd pop out of the water and out of the way of the wave crashing. I think Noah could have done that for hours!

Here are just a few of the many pictures from the trip...

Atlanta

David had a work trip to Atlanta earlier this month, so Noah and I tagged along. Except for the air conditioning going out in our car, we had a great time! We saw a bunch of different kinds of trains, which Noah loved, and we also went to the Georgia Aquarium. We didn't have a lot of time at the aquarium, but what we saw was really impressive.
