Samantha's first blog

Posted By pamelamyers on July 30, 2010

Our last day at the beach. After our last walk, Mark wanted to write Sam’s name in the sand to commemorate our trip. About 1 second after he snapped this picture, the wave you see in the bottom had the nerve to come up and totally wipe out the writing!

On the way back from our daily walk with Sam, Mark realized that we should take photos of where we stayed for posterity.  Here is the beach front side.  Mark and I and my mom had the top floor.  Our portion of the house was on the right side, as you are looking at the photo. We met the owner (and his adorable dog!) who live on the other side.

This is the street side.  We took the pictures with the sunset on the top floor deck right off of our bedroom. You can see Mark’s Pilot with the rooftop carrier on it : )

Some of our views.  This is from the top floor deck.

I think by this point, Sam was getting kind of beached out.  She didn’t really want to play.  She spent most of her time standing up staring at us and eating veggie sticks.

Since Krista and Adam were out for the last photos, we wanted to make sure we got some good ones of them too.  Mark set up his little studio again, this time on the beach front deck, and got these awesome family pictures.

All in all, this vacation was amazing.  There were moments of exhaustion, neverending packing and unpacking, and the occasional stress of tired and overstimulated babies, but what a trip!  It was everything we always wanted.  I can’t wait until next year, and the next, and the next after that to see how my little girl grows up and can experience even more things.

Thank you to everyone for sharing it with us, Rich and Sandi, Mom, Krista and Adam and Maddox, and thanks to Joe for watching Zephyr while we were away so that Mom could come with us!  We can’t wait for our next vacation — this one went so fast!
