Weekend at the Beach

Snack Time!

With fall on the way, we decided to take one last beach vacation in 2010. We packed everything up on Wednesday night, and we headed out on Thursday after work. We headed to Jekyll Island to stay at the 4-H Center. My family has gone to the 4-H Center over Labor Day every year since I was a kid, and we don't want that to change now that Weston is part of our family.

Being mischievous and preparing to crawl off his blanket...

We had a great time though Weston had a fever for two days and broke out in a rash on Monday morning when we were preparing to head home. Turns out he had the Roseola virus...we even took him to the Immediate Care center at the beach on Saturday, because he was feeling so bad. He was just getting over his first ear infection, so we were worried that he still had the remnants of the ear infection, and it wasn't getting better. His ears were clear, and it was all viral! Thankfully, he is feeling much better and the rash is almost gone. The last night at the beach...he woke up EVERY TWO HOURS! It was worse than when we first brought him home.

Loving the sand!

We had to keep the pacifier in, because he continuously wanted to eat the sand! Ha-Ha!

We had fun though, and he got to watch his first Georgia game while we were there with his dad! Grant had fun and can't wait for him to be able to watch the game and cheer along with him! Now, some pictures from our beach vacation!

Beach Vacation

Well, I've been away for a week now, because we spent the past week in St. Augustine, FL on vacation and attending a three day family reunion for my dad's side of the family. It was a great weekend. Weston put his toes in the sand for the first time, and we enjoyed spending time away from the office. The family loved on Weston, and Ms. Mary at daycare said all he wanted to do was be held yesterday. Oops...I don't think he got put down all weekend. Ha-Ha!

We came back from the trip to a not so nice surprise...our upstairs air condition went out, so we are crossing our fingers that the AC company can make it out this afternoon to take a look. For now, we are sleeping downstairs on the couch and Weston is in his Pack & Play downstairs. It's a steamy 98 degrees upstairs.

Weston also turned 5 months old since I last posted, and I have some photos to upload from his 5 month photo shoot. For now, I'll leave you with some photos of our beach vacation...

Jekyll Island

One of my favorite places in the world is Jekyll Island, and we are headed down for the weekend for some R&R, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm really looking forward to going down, because we are actually going for Master 4-H Camp. I grew up being a 4-H'er, and I became a Master 4-H'er in high school, so we started going to Master 4-H Camp every year at Jekyll Island over Labor Day. It's a fun event where families and friends come together at the 4-H Center to spend a weekend catching up, laying out at the beach, playing games and square dancing in the evenings.

Yes...I really do know how to square dance! And it's just such a fun weekend for all of us. Grant has been once before, and he had a good time. It's always fun, and it's nice to catch-up with those families and friends that we only see once a year. I'm looking forward to it, and I'm trying to talk Grant into going down on Thursday, but it seems like a losing battle. Either way, we'll be there Friday afternoon, and we'll be staying until Monday. I'm so excited, and I wish we were there already! Is it Friday yet?

It can't be Monday?!

The weekend was a long one, and it still passed by way too quickly. I spent most of the weekend just relaxing. I cleaned the house from top to bottom, I washed all of our clothes and sheets on the bed, I ironed all of the clothes, and I just got things done around the house that I had been putting off for quite some time.

I also took a nap almost everyday, so that was great. I took one on Friday and Saturday, but I didn't take one on Sunday. I got a few new essential clothing items. I got some clothes for work, and I got two new bras which I was in desperate need of since I grew from a 34B to a 34C practically overnight.

I got some sun, and I spent some time with the dog and hanging out with friends. All in all, a great weekend, but I just can't believe that it's Monday. I have a severe case of the Monday's, and I can't concentrate at work nor do I want to be at work. I would love to be back home with my dog, napping on the couch. Oh well, I'm counting down the days 'til this week is over and only 23 more days 'til Grant and I are on our way to the beach! I can't wait! I need another vacation!
