Watercolor

I am sooo far behind on my posts I feel like I can never catch up! So for awhile the blogs will be short and sweet!The first week in June the family packed up and went down to Watercolor for a week! We were meeting some friends of ours down there and were really looking forward to the vacation! After we packed up our entire life (so it seems)we headed out for the road. We were trying to plan everything around Henley's nap schedule because she is the impatient one in her car seat for too long. We were hoping for lots of sleep on her part. Luckily she cooperated and slept for a big portion of the trip. Christian of course did not do so well. I think that every five minutes he asked, " where are we going"? Talk about your nerves being shot...have a toddler ask you the same question over and over for four hours!!! He drove us crazy because he kept telling us he had to pee, just so he could get out of the car! Finally, we called his bluff and he fell asleep the last hour to the beach!

If you have never been to Watercolor, Brian and I highly recommend it! We think it is better than Seaside! The community, the houses, the pool and all the kids made it so much fun! We parked our car, rented bikes and never got back into our car until it was time to leave! We did get a babysitter a couple of nights to have some adult time and yummy dinners! For all you beach goers that travel to the 30-A area we discovered a great new restaurant called Fish out of Water. It was fantastic!

Christian was not to fond of the beach this year so we lived at the pool or should I say, "In the pool"! He loves the water and so does Henley! The days were spent all day at the pool. Once we got up in the morning we would exercise, eat breakfast and then lotion up and head out to the pool! We ate lunch at the pool and luckily they had adult beverages too! Brian and I took turns with Christian in the pool because he would not get out! Henley took her naps in the shade and so did Christian and daddy on some days! Henley loved being in the water with her brother when she was awake. We had a boat for her to sit in and she would just chill out in the pool. Brian and I talked Christian into a few more trips to the beach, but it was not long before he requested the pool again. Brian took him into the Ocean, but he was NOT a fan! I did not mind staying around the pool because all Henley did was eat the sand.

My parents recently bought a place in San Destin and they were coming down the Friday before we left to go home. So on Friday night we drove over to visit them and check out the new digs and have dinner. We had dinner over in Baytown Wharf and Christian played and had ice cream. This particular area is so kid friendly during the day and adult fun at night! I am excited that we have a place to go in the summer with my family.

All and all it was a great vacation that we hated to have end! However, we will be back down the 4th of July so...here we come beach!
