A "Sand"sational TIme!

Joe found us a last minute beach trip to Virginia Beach for Saturday, June 6th through Saturday, June 13th. This was our 1st visit to Virginia Beach. The Taylors (Courtney's sister) went with us on the trip, too! Carter did well considering he is only 3 1/2 months old. We only had to stop 2 times during the 8 hour car ride.
Welcome to Virginia Beach!

All ready for the beach (with his pacifier and silky blanket)!
We got up Sunday morning and headed down to the sand. Our hotel was right on the beach so all we had to do was get on the elevator and walk outside. It was very nice to be this close with a baby (and all the stuff that he needs!).

Our family beach picture!

Carter's 1st time in the ocean!
The water was cold so he wasn't a fan of the ocean but we had to have a picture anyway.

Carter napped in the breeze!

Our little Buddha baby!
He loved sitting in his Bumbo and watching everything! We left him in his diaper because he would get so hot in his swim outfit.

It was very hot the last 2 days at the beach so we decided to let Carter try a popsicle. He loved it! Courtney would drink all the juice out and let him suck on the ice.
Pool time with Cousin Owen and Cousin Reed!
The hotel had an indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool. The boys liked going to the indoor pool because it was warmer and they had a "baby pool" that Owen and Carter could play in.
Splashing around in the pool!
Putt-Putt time!

Carter with his 1st golf club!

We went to the Naval Museum and toured the Wisconsin.

Us with the "big guns"!

On the last night of our vacation, we rented a surry to ride along the 3 mile boardwalk. We all had a great time! It was a good workout and a great way to see the main area of Virginia Beach.

Our picture with King Neptune on the boardwalk! We had a nice trip and it was a great way to start our summer vacation!
