This a a blog dedicated to reminiscing on the first beach trip of the summer, since I am behind. But, I feel like I am catching up - maybe so!!! We took a trip to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL shortly following SB's birthday. Dutch's dad, stepmom and sisters went as well. We piled up the minivan and left at 6:00 am to head down. (Keep in mind this means we woke up at 5 to get dressed and ready). All of our stuff was packed the night before. After some confusions as to which Golden Pantry we were meeting the rest of the family, the convoy was off!
We got to the beach just in time for lunch, ate and hit the pool. The pool was PACKED!!! It has a slide which I know SB will love in the future, but she did not care to much for the splashing. We went to the rooms afterwards and got ready to eat at Barbara Jean's. I have never been there (and neither had SB). The pumpkin bread MIGHT have been the best part of Sarah Beth's trip.
Once we were settled, we spent the rest of the week on the beach, eating seafood and playing golf / working (Dutch played golf and worked as it was a business trip). Sarah Beth LOVED being outside but HATED the sand. I have mentioned before that she is a girly girl and this was no exception. She did better with the hard sand since it was not as gritty but hated the water. The only picture we got of her in the sand was the above picture. Taken after Dutch got her to allow us to bury her legs.
The last night we ate at a dinner for the convention. This might have been SB's second favorite part of the trip. Awards were given during dinner and we clapped for each individual. SB who LOVES to clap had the best time cheering on the awardees and even started screaming for them. It didn't help that her grandaddy was on the stage giving out awards. She had a BALL!
After 5 days we packed up and headed back...AFTER a stop in Savannah to visit our friend Abbey. We had a great lunch with her and made it home. It took a week to "detox" SB from all of the attention she got from her aunts and grandparents!
Hope you enjoyed the post and get ready for the next blog coming soon: Beach Baby part Deux!
Much Love, MB
