A couple of weeks ago we went on our annual summer vacation down to Seaside. We left Friday after lunch and stopped in Pensacola to break up our trip and then kept driving over to Seaside on Saturday morning. The place we chose to stay this summer was a great spot for our family. It was a 2 bedroom condo right on the amphitheatre loop in Seaside. Right across the street from the beach and right across the street from the amphitheater with ocean views. We have stayed here before just in a different condo! We loved it!
I have several posts that I will do on our vacation and they may be a little out of order! Oh well!
The only downfall to our condo location was Duckies toy shop was maybe 10 feet away so the kids were dying to go there all the time! Daddy may of obliged a few times!
One night we had a movie and pizza night after a long day at the beach and had to
get our chocolate cake from Modica! It is tradition!
Playing in the sand and the waves.
We hit up the pool the first afternoon we were there. It was very cloudy so
everyone had left and we had the place to ourselves pretty much!
Walker officially ditched the puddle jumper floaty while we were on
vacation and showed us that he can swim too! He looks like such a big boy without it!
Of course one night we went to get ice cream and gelato!
Making Elle into a mermaid.
Matching swimsuits for the boys!
Rinsing the sand off after a long morning at the pool.
The pool had a frozen treat kitchen and grill which we loved!
Walker got a sno cone and Elle got a Dr. Pepper float.
Walking back to the condo from the pool.
We went to breakfast at Great Southern one morning. It was delicious as always!
Elle also made several visits to Sun Dog books this year. It is super fun now that she is reading because they have so many books! She had some hard decisions to make between all the books she wanted!
She chose one of the new Babysitter Club books.
Getting ready for a day at the beach!
Carrying his boogie board out to the beach.
So meet Emma! She came strolling up to Elle on the first day to compliment her cartwheel and they were pretty much best friends for the rest of the week! Emma is from Oklahoma and very energetic and active and showed Elle all the fun things you can do at the beach. The two of them went back and forth between our chair setups all week and we got to know Emma's sister and her parents through the days. It really made the week so much more relaxing because Elle was so content!
Hanging out on the blanket waiting on the REP play to start!
I went and picked up a coupe of our favorite cold items from Modica and this was our dinner and it was so yummy! Just seeing this picture makes me crave that shrimp salad. It is my favorite!
Jack and Missy and the kids were all in town the same weekend so we saw lots of them all week! They came over to hang out with us in the amphitheater after eating dinner and watched some of the play!
Elle was so happy to see them on the first night!
