Last week sister called me and said they decided to go to the beach with mom and dad. We had already decided we weren't going to go.... just too much to pack up and I didn't feel up to the challenge. Then we started thinking about it and how nice it was going to be down there and we really had no plans here at home, so that was 10:00 am and we were pulling out of the driveway by 12:30. I was proud of our efforts to get everything together in record time.
Little man had no idea what was going on, but he was ready for whatever we had planned. He was a trooper for his first long car trip/vacation. We only made one brief stop at the rest area for a feeding and change and we were back on the road. We made it to the beach in time for a quick dinner and of course a trip to Walmart and then it was time to hit the sack.
Friday, KK, Aunt Keri and Uncle Pete arrived shortly after lunch (we had some yummy seafood at the Shrimp Basket before they got there).
Little buddy had a nice long nap after lunch and was ready for some loving from the fam.
And then that meant he was also ready to hit the beach. The weather was beautiful on Friday. Perfect! Fulton's hats aren't quite the right size for right now, but it did the job.
There were actually people laying out in swimsuits. Now, I don't think it was that warm, but it sure was flip flop weather. Which by the way, Fulton doesn't have any yet... must look for some before summer.
Fulton was the star of the show with lots of people to love on him.
I think he enjoyed sticking his feet in the sand... he wasn't sure what that gritty stuff was but he seemed to like it.
His tiny little foot prints.
Just checking everything out.
And then the drool began and that was our cue to take it to the house. He had endured enough pictures and fun for one afternoon. It was off to have dinner at Bahama Bobs... delicious!!
After dinner we did a little snuggling with Uncle Pete and caught up on some of the bowl games.
Pops arrived late Friday night, someone had to stay and work. So, Fulton did some early morning bonding with him. To say his sleeping schedule was a little off while we were gone would be an understatement. It was a rough few nights.
This guy was such a lounger while we were there. I heard you shouldn't let your child watch TV until the age of 2... looks like someone has already broken that rule.
Saturday we went to lunch at Tacky Jacks. It is right on the water so we had lots of things to look at while we waited.
The girls. We had a little wait for our table, so there was plenty of time for pictures. I know the guys were thrilled about that.
And the whole fam.
Fulton was a champ during lunch and finally gave it up and crashed. It was super foggy on Saturday, so we didn't get out to the beach, but did a little outlet shopping and football watching. It was a wild and crazy New Years Eve for us.
Sunday we got up and headed out to the beach again... another beautiful day. Pops decided to be brave and stick his feet in the water... it was freezing.
It was very windy too... can you tell?!
Aunt Keri and Uncle Pete with the little booger. We headed in and packed it up for the drive back. Little stinker was pretty good on the way home too. We had a great little quick get away at the beach with the fam. Happy New Year!

Glad we were all there to experience Fulton's first time on the beach! I think he enjoyed it pretty well. I am sure the next beach trip will be even more fun!
Looks like you had a great family trip. Pops....aka John...always takes the early morning "baby" duty when we do family trips, too. Makes him very popular!
