My mom had a room reserved at the beach a few weeks ago
for a get-away with some friends.
She had to move the reservation
(they wouldn't let her cancel at such last minute notice)
when her friends couldn't make it...
so I got to go with her this week!
(the view out our window! on a beautiful, sunny, clear, 50 degree day!)
It was the 1st time Natalee really was able to
comprehend and "take-in" the beach.
I stopped somewhere along the way, got her out and showed her the ocean.
I kept waiting for her reaction.
She was literally speechless.
She just sat there in my arms staring. Trying to take it all in!
I simply loved the "awe"some moment.
My baby girl really seeing the ocean for the first time!
She quickly perfected the art of saying "ocean" and "sea gull"...
She loved every minute of our trip!
(Mommy on the other hand, had a rough night with an almost 2 year old
wiggling, squirming, and demanding
"Nonnie", "Potty", "water" etc multiple times
during the night and early morning! Not at all relaxing!)
(Natalee enjoying the view)
Isn't her little hat adorable? It was a gift from my Aunt Gloria
and it just works super sweet w/ the outfit I packed for her!
(Natalee & Nonnie)
(terrible picture of me & Natalee. I won't tell you who took it.)
(I like this one... the sunbeam is so pretty behind her head!)
(Little Miss Independent)
The hotel we stayed at is called The Sandcastle.

It's an older hotel and it almost looks run-down (from the affects of saltwater I'm sure).

Anyway... inside it's WELL maintained and really really nice!
Our room had 2 beds, one in a bedroom & one out in the living area.
A full kitchen, & a huge dining room table perfect for scrapbooking!
(excuse the mess!)
Nonnie & I got a bunch of scrapbooking done.
I finished 4 pages, + 2 more that are close to being done.
SUCH FUN!
Natalee had a hard time saying good-bye...
Thank you Mom for letting us get-away with you!
