Ready or not, beach, here we come!

This past week we took our first family vacation with Luke and Olivia. We went to North Myrtle Beach with Dan's folks, and Dan's brother's family was there as well. It was nice to have a MUCH shorter drive from Charlotte than Atlanta (4 hrs vs 7 hrs), and Luke and Olivia travel really well. We left mid-day on Father's Day, stopped half way to feed Luke and Olivia, and got to the condo around dinnertime. We spent the first evening just getting settled and unpacked, and Monday morning it was time to hit the sand!

Seeing Luke and Olivia in the sand for the first time was quite the sight. Olivia took immediately to eating handfulls of sand, while Luke wasn't too sure what to think about this new texture. We also dipped their feet into the ocean, which neither seemed to like very much! I think they'll stick to the pool for now. By the end of the trip, they both loved playing and napping on the beach, and we loved this new adventure with them.

We got home late Thursday evening, and even though we had a great time, we were all happy to be home sleeping in our own beds once again. We really enjoyed our first family trip, and we look forward to many, many more!
