Monday, June 11, was our first full day of vacation.

We were up early, as usual. Addison and Fischer don't understand that vacation should include sleeping in. Hopefully they will learn that as they get older. :) So after some breakfast, we headed out to the beach! It was sunny but not too hot, so it was great beach weather.



We had a lot of fun playing in the sand, ocean and even flew a fun kite.  The 3rd picture down is Scott and Fischer walking into the ocean while flying the kite!





After quite awhile at the beach, we headed to the pool. Our hotel had 2 pools - one of which was just for families. It was only 2 feet deep, so it was perfect! Then, after some pool time, we headed back to the room for a shower and lunch. We had hot dogs, which we ate in front of the TV. We very rarely eat with the TV on, so it was a special treat. It took Addison and Fischer awhile to finish their food since they were so into watching what was on.


After lunch, it was time to go to the aquarium. The aquarium was fun, but I definitely liked the one in Atlanta better. The kids had fun though, and got to see lots of cool animals.



Addison even got to meat a "real life" mermaid, but we weren't allowed to take our own pictures. The one they took was funny, but it was also $15! She had a good time showing the mermaid all of her boo-boos though. :)







After awhile at the aquarium, we went to walk around the rest of Broadway at the Beach. They had playground that was on the water, which was cool. There were even a few ducks on the playground.




We had a great time, but we were tired and hungry so decided to head back to the hotel to figure out where to eat dinner. By this point, it was pouring, so our timing worked out nicely. We decided on an italian restaurant, and it was really good!

Then it was time to head back to rest up for Tuesday. Luckily, the kids went to sleep pretty quickly - they were worn out from all of our fun!
