Vacation Girl!

Hey there! I haven't blogged in a while because we were on vacation. Lucy, Brian and I went to Hilton Head for a little much needed R&R and what a time we had. Our little Lucy girl is definitely a vacation girl. She loved the pool and the beach and the Westin heavenly bed and all the time with her daddy and mommy. We loved it all too! Lucy was so so good during the VERY long car ride down to the end of South Carolina. We barely heard a peep out of her. What a girl. The trip home was a slightly different story, Lucy screamed for 85 miles. Approximately 10 miles in SC and 75 in NC. Apparently, she was a little upset we had left our own little paradise. Sorry, Lucy.

Back to the fun though, Lucy took to the pool like a duck to water. She loved it! She even practiced swimming by kicking her little legs in the water. Given the choice, Lucy would have been content to stay in the pool for hours. It was so much fun to see how she enjoyed the pool. The beach was a lot of fun too. Lucy thought the sand was really interesting, especially the way it moved around her feet as the waves came onto the shore and then went back out to sea. Lucy also liked going into the ocean with Daddy, but she didn't want to stay as long in the water there. Maybe because there was much more motion than in the pool.

This was a very different vacation than Brian and I have taken in the past. We talked to so many more people than ever before when we have been away. Lots of people stopped by to ask about Lucy and to tell us how cute she is, or to see if they could get a smile out of her - and most of them did! Lucy gives her smiles away so freely - she is so sweet. Even though this vacation was different, neither of us would trade one second of it (well maybe those 85 miles...) because we had so much fun with our Lucy girl! We can't wait for the next trip.

Here are some more pictures from our vacation:
