One of the best things about the house, was this screened in porch. The kids could make a mess and we could rinse it all off. Perfect!

On Tuesday we went on a tour to see the wild horses

Canon ball!

Vacation is great for snuggling with your kids in bed. Nowhere to be and no chores to do.

Heaven

For our last night at the beach, we went out for a yummy dinner and then went to ride go-carts. Even Lillian was a fan.

I have a major case of the "vacation blues." We have been home for a week and I am still sulking. I want to go back to our beach house. I just did not want the trip to be over, it was such a wonderful time. We had a few days with all 18 people, a few more days with just our extended family, and then still a few more days with just me, Joe and the kids. It was heaven. Good food (even steamed seafood), popsicles, cocktails, laughter, pool time, naps, movies, magazines, long walks, family bike rides, nature hunts for turtles, go carts, golf, shopping, date nights, seashells, and lots of sunscreen.
We already booked the house for next year, and I can't wait!
