Family Vacation

Mom I'm SO hungry!!!!!

Dan and I have decided that once a year we will take a somewhat longer family vacation. This year we had a wedding to go to out in Hilton Head, South Carolina. We decided after the wedding to stay there a week and make it our family vacation! So glad we did. Dan's parents were with us for the whole week and one of his sisters were too! Such fun :)

This is Saffryn asleep on my knees while on the plane ride out there. She just could NOT get cuter!!!

Some of the highlights of the trip are:


WEDDING! It was such a beautiful wedding! Lots of great food, dancing, drinks and of course the beautiful bride and groom. It was also so much fun to see so many of Dan's family. Both of his sisters were there and our soon to be brother in law. His grandparents, great aunts and uncles, parents, aunt and uncle and cousins! Dan and I both think going to weddings now is so romantic and reminds us of our special day and why we decided to spend the rest of our lives with each other!!!!

TUBING! Dan loves to go tubing. He is such a crazo and loves going fast. So fast and hard that he actually ripped the lifejacket he was wearing going over some of the waves!!!!

SWIMMING! This was an activity the whole family can enjoy. Saffryn L-O-V-E-S the water. She splashes, kicks and moves all over in the pool. Sometimes s does it in a float other times she likes to do it while being held in our arms.

MOVIE/DATE NIGHT! Papa and Gigi were so kind to watch Saffryn for us twice! One time we went two movies in one night! I know we so awesome...LOL! Dan, Aunty Becky and I saw Inception and Eclipse! The other night Dan and I had a date night. It was so great we went to an Italian restaurant then played the hardest game of minigolf ever!

EXPLORING! This was a favorite for Saffryn. She was so busy exploring the whole house. She went all over and loved every adventerous second!!! She found bar stools, door stops, drawers, windows, coffee tables and magazines! What fun :)

FAMILY! This was great fo the whole family, too! Saffryn loved spending so much time with Papa and Gigi! They got to see her do so much that they might not get to see on a regular basis! They got to watch her eat, read, play, swim, explore. They got to go on walks together, pick her up when she wakes up, sing to her and give her lots and lots of kisses!


There were plenty of other things we did that was fun, too. Lets not forget the beach, watching movies and tv shows, relaxing, playing tennis and going out to eat a few times. Over all it was just a wonderful and busy week! CANNOT wait to go out again when Saffryn is older because she will have even more fun!

Thanks Papa and Gigi for a wondeful week!
