We're Going on Our First Family Beach Vacation!

After talking about it for more than two years, we’re finally taking our kiddos to the beach for the first time!

PJ loves the beach. Loves it. We actually thought about buying in Florida last year during all the craziness of the pandemic and possibly MOVE TO THE BEACH (can you imagine? we’ve since come to our senses and have realized that was an emotional decision); that’s how much he loves it. The beach and the ocean both calm and restore him, not to mention make his skin and hair look/feel amazing (his words, not mine).

We’ve been looking forward to taking the kiddos to the beach since we first got them. We can’t wait to see their faces when they see the ocean for the first time!!! Can you imagine?? We bought them all new bathing suits a few months back (they’re so cute), and a bunch of new beach clothes here recently, so they will be ~stylin and profilin~ in Florida 😎.

It’ll also be the first road trip we’ve ever taken as a family of five, so that should be interesting :). I remember loving road trips with my family as a kid, relaxing in the back seat listening to Britney Spears my Sony Walkman over and over again. It’ll be a whole new experience to be on the other end of that, and I’m excited. Everyone is potty trained except little sis, but thankfully no one goes number 2 on themselves anymore, so I’m hoping it will be a somewhat smooth ride down there.

We have a house sitter to watch over the animals and make sure everything is okay while we’re gone. Our family is going to be joining us, which will be so nice to catch up with everyone since we’re all fully vaccinated now. Plus, more family members = more eyes on the kiddos, which means maybe there will be a night we can sneak out for a date night for two?

We’ve been looking forward to this for so long and it’s almost here! Now we just have to finish packing.
