This past weekend we had our 1st annual family vacation! This year we chose to take it to the beach...in October! haha. We figured since there was so much to celebrate during this month, it was the perfect time. Plus we got a great deal on a super cute condo! Thursday we set off pretty early for our long road trip. Jamey and I dropped Addy off in Monroeville to stay with Sissy and grandaddy for the night so we could have a teeny bit of "us" time. We finally arrived later that day and did a little shopping and went to the condo to unpack. We had a great time hanging out and talking (mostly about Addison) and just relaxing! We actually ate a couple bites of our year old wedding cake! Friday Ashlee brought Addy down and we were so happy to see them both. It wasn't the best weather while we were there but we tried to make the best of it and went down to the pool for a few minutes to let Addy "Fwim"! Before we left that was all she could talk about... she even packed her own bag... with only her swimsuit!!! LOL Saturday we got up and had a wonderful breakfast. I didn't feel any older...even though I guess I should have! LOL We took a trip to the zoo and went around to a ton of shops and stores around town. Addy's favorite store was the "Purple Octamapus" We went there several times. She had to also get a "Baby dolphin" airbrushed shirt! haha. The zoo was SO much fun!! If you ask Addison what she saw at the zoo she will tell you "a horsey (donkey) was SO LOUD... he said "heeeee HONK!" Of all of the animals we saw, that is what she remembered! Poor thing... she happened to be sitting in the wagon right in front of him when he started on a "Hee Haw" kick! Saturday night was supposed to be couples date night b/c Joah came down to go out to eat but Addison was just pooped from the very long day we had and was ill. So, we decided to go in shifts. It turned out fine and we had birthday cake when we got back. Sunday was the dreaded pack up and leave day. The 5 hour trip wasn't really as bad as we thought it would be. Addison pretty much peeled the paper off of crayons the whole time that she was awake! What a mess.. but it kept her entertained! :)
