Our First Family Vacation

The week following Memorial Day we headed down to Carolina Beach, North Carolina, for our first vacation as a family. We spent the first weekend with Ben, Jess, and their two boys, Caden & Abram. Ben had to head back to work for most of the week but the rest of us were able to enjoy a fun-filled week at the beach. We had a great time sleeping late (we had to take turns on that one), going for walks, hanging out on the beach, swimming in the pool, and really just relaxing. We didn't have any plans for the week and other than a couple of trips to the grocery store we stayed close to the house for most of the week.



Liam loved the beach and lucky for us he took the best naps in his tent in the shade while Rolf and I were able to enjoy some time hanging out on the beach. He didn't quite know what to think of the pool at the beginning of the week but by the end would enjoy it in 15 minute increments. Late in the week his Mimi brought him a pair of "Babybanz" sunglasses that he loved to wear in the bright sun and they really seemed to help. Other than a pretty bad reaction to his sunscreen, Liam had a great time!
