We're still ALIVE!

So, we have been home for over a week...and what a vacation we had! The days in Virginia were bunches of fun, but next time....we fly or the kid gets Dramamine:) I was absolutely doused in puke two days in a row...and someone forgot to inform Gabe that babies are suppose to sleep while traveling at night!!! We made it there and back, but I think it may take a year of counseling to get over the trauma of the trip. In between the 13 hour drives that were suppose to take 10 hours, we had some fun...

The first night we made it 3 hours...we quit after midnight and a screaming child...he was as happy as a king once we got out of the car!

Thank the Lord for McDonald's playgrounds!!!

We visited the Botanical Gardens with Aunt Wo-Wo. SOOOO beautiful!

We had our first picnic of the year!

AND....we rented a "pedal car" to ride around in for the afternoon at the beach!

We played in the warm sand and got all dirty!

And, of course, we visited our good friends, Kerri and Derek, and Haddie and Gabe hit it off great!

Here is the promised picture of Aunt WoWo...and baby Stephens who we got to feel kicking a lot!

We stopped on our way home to visit Gabe's great grandparents, where he was a big hit...and he loved to have Gram read him stories!

We had a good time away, and loved being with our friends, but it is GREAT to be home!
