We have recently returned home from our family vacation to the beach. This year we went to St. George Island, FL. It's a great place to go if you like staying out in the heat all day. My husband and kids loved it; I prefer a little time in the a/c as well as being out by the pool. We celebrated Abigail's birthday while we were there. We went into Apalachicola for lunch that day. After lunch, we went back and changed for beach time. One of her presents was to ride the wave runner in the ocean.
She LOVED it; Rachel preferred the sand. I think we are going back to Gulf Shores next year so you don't have to drive an hour to the nearest Wal-Mart. Before we left, the girls made friends with so other Atlanta residents.
I think this is the first summer vacation we have come home from without anyone being sunburned. Thank God for sunscreen!!!
