and we went to the beach!!

This past weekend we went to the beach in southeastern Delaware. It's the place where I went with my family every summer when I was growing up. This trip was spectacularly fun!

Get ready for an onslaught of pictures!! Ready . . . GO!

Annie read books pretty much the whole 3 1/2 hours of the trip. She was very happy :)

Hello, Delaware!

we stayed at a really fun hotel that was super close to the beach.

Annie caught a few winks every chance she got. 

here's our little sea turtle, getting as covered in sand as possible . . . 

Annie's favorite part, I think, was all the people there! She wandered the tide line, meeting all sorts of kids and joining in on their fun!

We went out for pizza one night!

I was worried about how well she'd sleep in her pack-and-play every night. Worries were unnecessary . . . 

And then she woke up so happy!

The third day the Joneses drove down to meet us! These next few pictures are from Nancy. I left my camera in the car while we were at the beach this day. I'm glad I did, cause Nancy takes great pictures!

See what I mean by "as covered in sand as possible" ???

We went to a really fun British style fish and chips restaurant on the boardwalk that night for dinner. I thought Annie was going to sleep through the whole meal . . .

walking the boardwalk . . .

I had to visit the old boardwalk experiences of my youth :)

then it was time to leave . . . 

bye, Delaware!

Scott and Nancy also posted a fun video on their blog, if you wanna see it!

And here's one of ours . . .
