Well we got back from our family vacation a week ago, so I am finally getting around to blogging about it. The four of us loaded up on June 26th and drove all night down to New Smyrna Beach, FL in time for the sunrise. For us traveling with the 2 kids it is just easier driving at night. We arrived at 5 AM in New Smyrna Beach and sat on the beach to watch the sun rise. Right then I realized how much God loves me by giving me 4 miracles right there to look at. My 2 beautiful and healthy children Cade and Addyson. My wonderful husband Andy that God gave to me after a failed marriage. And a AMAZING sunrise. All right there on one beach were my miracles. God is so good to us and loves us so much!! I am in awe of how he has blessed my life over the past 3 years.
Anyway back to the trip – we had an awesome condo on the beach in a beautiful complex. We were on the north end of the beach near the lighthouse so it was less crowed and we were able to find some huge seashells in this area. The pool and beach area was so nice - never crowed. We ha such a good time just the four of us spending time together. Our days mostly consisted of beach , pool, eat, sleep, and repeat. We did go and visit with Andy’s Aunt Holly in Vero Beach where he is from. Andy had a fun time showing us where he went to school, seeing the house he grew up in, and seeing where he played little league.
On our last night at the beach we drove 20 minutes to Daytona to see a Nascar race. If anyone knows my son Cade - he LOVES cars. I mean the kid is 7 and will sleep with some of his matchbox cars. He loves everything about cars and mostly racing. So we took him to his first race. We bought infield tickets and got up-close to the cars and the drivers. He was even able to see his favorite driver Dale Jr. We got to sit in the infield before the race and also write our names on the Start/Finish line. Cade was grinning from ear to ear. It was a really cool experience. We came home on July 4th and had a cookout and fireworks with some great friends.
Once I get the pictures uploaded I will post some. Hopefully I can do that soon!! Anyway thanks for checking on us. We have a busy July and August ahead of us with lots of travel. Stay tuned to where we end up next :)
