Beach Vacation



I have been anticipating the dates June 13 through June 20, because we have had our beach trip planned for about 5 months. I absolutely love the beach, and have really grown to love Treasure Island. I don't like the east coast beaches because they really don't compare to those on the west coast. Also, it's less "commercialized" and much more family friendly. And just prettier beaches all together! I was a little scared about going because just before we left, I was 2cm and 50% effaced. But I needed the R&R and decided to go anyway...I figured it was well worth the risk! Joey was only able to stay the first weekend, so his mom came and stayed with me the rest of the week. She was great, and a lot of help! She helped me keep Will busy, and made sure I didn't overdo myself. We slept in everyday till 9am...sunbathed till 1 or 2pm, napped for a few hours, then sunbathed some more. What a great schedule we had! My sister and her family were also there, so that was even better! I am proud to say that I am SO TAN! I can't even wear make-up because I have nothing that matches my color! I have not been this tan since high school and I'm so lovin it! It was a great week, and the weather was perfect!

The only thing that would have made it a better week is if Joey could have stayed with us :( We missed him dearly, and we were both happy to come home to him.

Here are a few pictures:

My belly shot...don't laugh!



Will became quite the swimmer, and even did great without floaties!





Isn't he beautiful! Look how blond his hair got!







Will and Anna Grace






The best kiss ever








**I highly recommend using the website VRBO.com (vacation rentals by owner) when you plan your next vacation destination. We saved a few hundred dollars by renting directly from the condo owner. It's really a great site. And if you happen to take a vacation in Treasure Island, be sure to stay here: http://www.vrbo.com/109078

***As of today, I am still 2cm. but now I'm 70% effaced***
