Beach!!

Yes, that's right....Beach!  Or at least that's the word that Jack and Rowan kept yelling out for a solid week when we told them that we were taking a last minute trip to St. Simon's Island.  This year we decided to take the plunge and adventure out on our own as a family of four.  We knew it would be interesting, but we were excited to share in this experience with our boys.

This was our first time going to St. Simon's, and we loved it!  It is the perfect family beach spot.  There were lots of things for the boys to do, and there were even lots of restaurants that Jody could eat at, which is a very rare find.  Apparently, this place was made for us.  :)

Here are a few highlights from our trip. . . .


We ate lunch at Cafe Frederica.  The boys loved the choo-choo train that went around the room. Rowan currently has a major choo-choo obsession. 

We ate pizza at a nice-ish restaurant and were a little loud.  Apparently the boys' inside voice is eerily similar to their outside voice.  Who knew?

We played at the Splash Zone Park.  The boys loved it and would only leave when we promised them ice cream.  They were none too pleased to have this kind stranger take our picture.  

While exploring Jekyll Island, we took a ride on this cool family bike.  Again, the boys had a blast!

This is the life, boys!  As a funny side note, we had to pull over when a horse and buggy tour came by.  The passengers on the tour took our picture, as if we were just one of the many attractions that they were going to see on their vacation ride.  Although, I can't say I blame them.  We are a little crazy. . . .

Fun!

I LOVE the beach!!

We shared a yummy cupcake at the Sweet Shop.

As you can tell, our first family trip went blissfully well.  We had so much fun that we plan on going back next year!
