Grace and I spent the last week on vacation with a stop in NC for a wedding and then on to Myrtle Beach for some fun family time. We were able to relax and do some fun things as well. Most of all, we enjoyed time with mom, dad, Matt, Allison & Huntley. ENJOY!
On Friday we left for NC after work.
We grabbed a quick dinner in the airport before our flight and Grace chose pretzel bites. First vacation meal so why not let her choose whatever she wants right?
Showing off her new pillow pet that she convinced me to buy her in the toy store at the airport. It is hard to say no to her sometimes.
Looking out the window waiting to see our plane to pull up to the gate.
Grace finally got to meet her new baby cousin on Friday night.
She was so excited!
On Saturday morning we took Grace and Huntley and had their picture made together...
Funniest one of them all...notice the finger!!
So proud of my little brother...he is already a FABULOUS daddy!
These looked a little awkward but he is just so darn cute!
Grace patiently playing blocks while we picked out the pictures we wanted to buy.
Tired after all the picture excitement
Cool dude
On Sunday we headed to the beach, but before we left Grace helped Granny in the garden...
First trip to the garden brings all these tomatoes & a few peppers.
Helping Granny wash the tomatoes
Back to the garden to cut okra
Buckled in the car and ready to hear south of the border!
We ran in to some storms on the way to the beach and got to see this awesome double rainbow. Grace was amazed by it!
After a long day, I found her practically hanging off the bed.
Monday was our first full day at the beach and Grace got to swim....
On Tuesday it rained so the girls shopped and Grace got to ride the train at the mall...
As mom and I shopped, Grace was make her own "store" on one of the racks near us. She enjoyed helping us shop.
She loved riding the train around the mall. It was pretty cool because it was a trackless train and it literally took us through the whole mall.
On Wednesday, we anxiously waited for Matt, Allison and Huntley to arrive. Once they did we enjoyed some more pool time and dinner.
Two very happy grandparents!!
Huntley all ready for some pool lounging
CUTIE!!
Huntley had the comfy seat
Note to self...when the beach ball package says Jumbo that really means a JUMBO beach ball!! It was torture to blow the thing up!!
Grace loves her Aunt Allison
Papa testing out the range of the water shooter
Showing Uncle Matt how she can jump in the pool

I think she loved playing with her Uncle Matt in the pool!!
Sleeping while we wait our turn for dinner
Grace got her hands on my camera and was taking pictures while we waited for dinner. She took some decent photos too!
Thursday we had nice enough weather to go down to the beach...
Before the beach, Grace got to help granny feed Huntley
I am not sure who had more fun at the beach!!
Cutest little snuggle bug I know!!
After dinner we took Grace to the rides...she had a BLAST....
Friday was a day of rest for the most part. The ladies went shopping and we had a nice last night dinner. Enjoy a few pictures and a video I took of Huntley on this day...
Saturday was sad as we had to leave the beach and head to the airport...
It was hard to say goodbye to this face!!
On the plane Grace wanted to read the safety ins ructions to Cinderella and Nemo.
Back in the car in TN our vacation caught up with her and she was SOUND asleep!
We were blessed to have such a fun vacation with our family!!!
