A Week Vacation

This last week of March = Much needed Vacation!
 
Our little family took a week long vacation from our Central Florida living.
 
We made a little road trip to a few different places during our vacation and had a blast at all stops!
 
We packed up and left Monday night for our first stop:
 
Niceville, FL
We stayed 1 day & 2 nights in good ole Niceville. We spent the afternoon out at Dockside Oyster Bar for a family lunch. Aunt Kayla joined us with her two beautiful babes.
That night we went down to Harborwalk Village to the new Margaritaville and to Crab Island Cantina.
 
It was a short stay but it was so good to see and spend time with my mom & dad. I could never have enough time with them. And I'm so glad that little Caroline was able to spend a little time with her Nonnie and Opa.
 
Ace got to spend the remainder of his vacation in Niceville with his Nonnie. He loves Nonnie's house. Lots of good food, back scratches and so much exercise to fill his days.
Next stop?
 
Brewton, AL
 
We stayed 1 1/2 days & 1 night in sweet little Brewton. We spent the first afternoon seeing her Grandparent's and her Great Gdaddy, then the boys went off for a day of golf & this momma and the babe got to take a much needed nap!
After a good home cooked meal, I was introduced to the nightlife of Brewton while Baby C spent time with her Sassy.
The next morning was spent shopping and preparing for the next leg of the trip.
 
The next leg, you say?
 
Canton, GA
 
We were Georgia bound for The Best Friend's wedding!
We made a pit stop along the way to see our family in Sharpsburg, GA. We just had to :) They had to meet Caroline and it was the perfect opportunity!
After getting into Canton, let the wedding festivities begin! For us anyway! We went to the Bride & Grooms house (or as my sister-in-law says, the B & the G). We spent the night, catching up with good people, making new memories. There was a fire, Lannomade & a lot of laughs.
Friday was the rehearsal day & Saturday was the wedding. We experienced the painted pig and sidelines and we ate so much good food both nights. The wedding was beautiful and the couple couldn't have been anymore perfect for each other. It was a beautiful occasion.
Caroline stayed with her Opa & Jimmie the whole weekend. They were so sweet to come all the way up to Georgia to watch the little girl while we did wedding festivities. They stayed right down the hall from us at the same hotel so we could come see her whenever we wanted. Which was a lot, including odd hours of the night. #sorryimnotsorry #lovemybaby
Blessed beyond words to have such great people in our life. Caroline had a wonderful weekend, being loved on all around. She was a happy baby.
Sunday after brunch at Brad & Maria's, we set out for out 12 hour road trip home. 12 hours? But it's only 6 from Atlanta to Orlando. Yeah, we know. But, we love our dog. So we drove 6 hours, stopped in Niceville to pick Ace up from his Nonnie's house then continued the 6 hours from there to Orlando.
It was a long day, but hey, Family bonding time.
 
We had all day Monday to recover from our trip. Joseph had the day off which was wonderful. I don't now if he would have been able to make it through the work day. We were all pretty tired.
 
Now we're getting back in the swing of things. Slowly, but surely. So....... I'm ready for the next vacation already :)
