Beach vacation

We had such a nice week that I am still pretending I am at the beach. The weather was nice. It was really windy and the red flag was out each day, but other than that it was nice. The wind made it cool enough that you didn't get hot. Olivia spent most of the mornings asleep with someone on the beach. Martin was covered in sand the whole time we were there. He had a minor meltdown about getting in his pool at one point because he wanted to be naked. But I guess that is my fault since we usually swim at home sans clothes. Oops! He finally agreed to put his clothes on and we were fine. We ate great food all week. We got to see our friends Allison and Shaun while we were down and had a great time with Bryan's family! Martin enjoyed all the extra attention and Olivia and I both enjoyed the extra hands to help! And of course we got to have Krispy Kreme doughnuts while we there (hot now)--because vacation wouldn't be complete without hot now doughnuts! We picked a good week to go, because it was a quiet time at the beach. Each night for dinner we didn't have a wait. We had 10 people and when we got to The Back Porch they were ready to seat us (that never happens)! We did have a wait at Dewey Destin, but not at Crab Trap or Louisiana Lagniappe either. Pretty good deal with kids! It's always hard to entertain before and then during the meal too. We had a great week, and we were all sad to say goodbye to the beach!
