BEACH!!!

We just got home from the beach! This was our first family vacation since Jane Baird came into our lives. Yes, we have been a lot of places with her including a quick weekend trip to the beach for a wedding 2 years ago, but that's not a real vacation. Last summer we said that we were going to go somewhere, but we were still recovering from summer 2009 when JB was hospitalized for several months; all I really wanted last summer was to be at home with a healthy baby! This year we took a real vacation and had so much fun! We went to Orange Beach, Alabama and the weather was beautiful the entire week even though the forecast called for rain every day. We stayed at a cute little condo that I found on vrbo.com. It turned out to be exactly what we needed and hoped for (I got such a good deal on it so I was worried that it might be a dump). Jane Baird really liked it and had fun exploring. She even got her own room which she was very proud of. She only took naps in there, but it was still her room. I know I always get to detailed in my posts and I don't want to bore you with all the details of our vacation, so I'll keep this one short. Some of our favorite things that we did were the beach, The Gulf Shores Zoo, The Track (we had so much fun here we went back for more another night), Dolphin Cruise, and last but not least, EAT! We took about 500 pictures (big shocker, right?) so I'll post a few here and there when I get time.
