Family Vacation

Yes, yes this post comes about a month and a half after the fact but better late than never, right?

We went on our first family vacation to Hilton Head, SC at the beginning of September. This was Graham's first trip to the beach. I was so happy to make it to the beach before his first birthday. I just had to have baby pictures at the beach.

This vacation was very different from all the other vacations I have ever been on. There was no relaxing or sleeping in. There was no leisure time laying in the sun or shopping at the mall. This vacation revolved around Graham's schedule. We ate when he was hungry. We played when he was awake and happy. And we all crashed for naps and at night. I think that is the new meaning of vacation.

He wasn't sure about the ocean and sand but it didn't take him long to figure it all out. The ocean was like a big bathtub. He laughed as the water rushed over his legs. He pointed as the seagulls flew over head. He loved digging in the sand. He also loved eating the sand. I can never understand why kids like to eat sand. It was so fun watching him experience the beach for the first time.
