Vacation!

It's certainly safe to say that this year's Nags Head vacation was like no other.  We may not have had many chances to relax on the beach and read or even sleep in, but this year with our little Frankie definitely goes down as one of the most fun we've had!

Because Frankie doesn't sleep that well in his Pack-n-Play, Frank and I made the decision to rent a crib for the week, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the week!  (Kudos to Frank for the suggestion!)  Thanks to the crib, we got a full night's sleep almost every night - and Frankie kept to his two-a-day nap schedule with no problem.

Overall, Frankie seemed pretty indifferent to the beach - He played at the water's edge and in the sand (and ate some sand) but didn't seem overly in love with either...Thankfully, he didn't hate them either!  We did bring his little blow-up pool with us and he loved splashing around in there.  Most of all, he seemed to soak up the attention he received from the family.  I'm pretty sure he had the time of his life and was wondering where everyone was when we got back home.  I think he's counting down to next year along with the rest of us!

It should be noted that when I asked Frank which moments he'd like to remember from this year's vacation, he named when...

1.  Jon hit Frankie's head in the ceiling fan

2.  Frankie face-planted in the living room while standing on the couch

3.  I freaked out during our photo shoot because our camera lens was fogged and the pictures weren't coming out clear

And I'd like to add when...

4.  I thought I was getting swept out to sea while attempting to paddle board on the windiest day

5.  Laura & I were almost brought to tears on our last night when Dirty Bird closed early...and we were saved by the fro-yo at the Surfin' Spoon, thanks to Kelly's recommendation

As you can tell, we had a wild vacation! :)
