Our first family vacation to the beach!!

We decided to take a little family vacation, so we went to Wilmington for a weekend getaway. We had such a good time. Garrett HATED the beach. He was scared of the water (who can blame him-that is one big bathtub), and I can't stand sand everywhere-so while he was fine playing in that...I wasn't digging it - and left soon after arriving(yes, I did grow up in Florida...but I have always HATED sand)Poor Kevin- I think he was hoping we would spend all day at the beach, yea, didn't happen!
So we spent some time at the pool (Garrett's first time in a pool) and he loved that... esp. the little boat float we got him! We also took a tour of the USS North Carolina that they have docked in Wilmington b/c it is a retired ship. It was very interesting, and something fun to do. I have yet to post a video but as you can tell in the pictures Garrett is full on walking now!! It's exciting...but sure is keeping us busy!! It definatly is his favorite mode of transportation now. Ah, where has my baby gone!

Yeah, Garrett's walking!! Can't wait to see the video. I am laughing at your explanation of the brief visit to the beach because I am the SAME WAY! Audrey loved the sand, but I couldn't stand watching her eat it or the thought that she might rub her eyes any minute now and get sand all in her eyes. And she was afraid of the big bathtub too. Glad you got a chance to get away.
