It was a block away from our favorite beach in Saint Petersburg. We spent the afternoon swimming in the ocean. Seth tried a boogie board for the first time and loved it!
Johnny was happy in his baby float.
We saw a huge black cloud looming in the distance, so we started quickly packing up. If you've experienced a Florida summer storm, then you know they hit fast and HARD. As Matt and I were packing up our shade tent, the wind picked up and the downpour hit. We probably looked like a cartoon with the tent fully off the ground as we tried to figure out how the hell to fold it up. The boys were sitting in the wagon with the boogie board over their heads. We finally got the tent halfway folded and ran back to our house, cracking up.
"Vacations" and trips with kids can be challenging at times, but it is so worth it. Seth kept saying, "BEST. TRIP. EVERRR!" and thanking me and Matt for going on a trip with him and Johnny. I always loved family vacations when I was a kid, and they are STILL some of my favorite memories. I hope our trips will be some of Seth + Johnny's favorites too!
I can't wait for our next family getaway :)
