 Our last night at the beach.

John, Jax and I took a fun family vacation to Panama City Beach last week. Our journey began with an overnight visit with Grandma in Huntsville then we headed South. Yes - we heard many times during the trip "Are we at the beach?" All in all Jax did great on the way down. He just got restless a few times but we took a few breaks and he was fine. We promised him that he could go to the beach as soon as we got there so even though it was already dark we gathered a bucket and shovel and went to the beach. He was so happy to touch the sand and play for a few minutes. Needless to say he had to have a bath when we went back to the condo. He was covered from head to toe.

The next day we were at the beach bright and early for a fun day of sand and sun.  Jax loved playing in the water.  I got a little nervous a few times because he was so brave and was not afraid to swim around on his own but John stayed close to him and he did great.  We enjoyed walks on the beach.  Jax found lots of seashells to bring home.  The pool was a little cool so John and Jax spent more time swimming than I did but I enjoyed sitting poolside watching the fun.  We went shopping one morning for a while but Jax was anxious to get back to the beach.

It was a fun time for our family.  We left CoCo with my brother Jay so she had fun playing with Tyler and Scruffy.  I missed her a lot.  She may have to join us next time.
