Beach Trip

We went to Panama City last weekend for a last minute beach trip. We knew it was not going to be the most relaxing trip with a colicky infant and a very energetic 4 year old but we really wanted to go before Julia started school. It turned out to be very fun (and exhausting, of course) and Alex cried less and slept more than he does at home. Go figure! We spent as much time as possible at the beach and pool. We went out to eat and to Alvin's Island one night to get Julia an airbrushed t-shirt (she picked out a beautiful unicorn shirt) and then finished with a trip to Gulf World on the way home. It was neat, but very hot, but both kids tolerated it very well. Julia especially loved the dolphin show. She was pretty bored after a couple of hours and we headed home. It was hard work but we were proud of ourselves for making it through our first family vacation.
