Matt and I decided this year that we really needed to plan and take a vacation and when better than in the summer- so we have already begun our planning and I'm so excited. We don't get to do much and it's much deserved when we do finally get away as a family. We are planning to stay with my aunt at her house in Calabash, where they have the cutest little stores and the most delicious diners & restaurants. We've planned to take the kids to see some Myrtle Beach spots and to take as many little beach trips and picnics as possible. Since I'm doing summer school, I have classes Monday through Thursday- so we would be leaving Thursday afternoon after my class and won't get back until Monday.
We have never been to the beach as a family. We took Adriana when she turned one- for her birthday. Ryland was born a year and half later. Last year, Matt and I went to the beach together to kind of get away and it was amazing but I missed our munchkins. It was a once in a blue moon opportunity so we took it and were extremely grateful. Our trips will be the four of us from this point forward.
So I wanted to start a new thing here and post things that will help me organize this trip and may inspire others to get away this summer too. I have a lot of fun posts planned about the best toxin-free, eco-friendly toys for the beach and pool as well as ways to save money before and on your trip. I also have some really great tips, idea's and ways to make a car ride a little less hectic and more simple for parents and more fun for the kids.
I have put together a few outfits I'll be purchasing
soon for the kids to wear on our beach trip.
