Back in Jax

We just got back from a week of fun in the sun in Jacksonville. We had the best time playing in the sand and splashing in the water with some of our best friends and family. With Cohen and Henry around, vacations aren't quite as relaxing as they used to be. Instead, the days are action packed from sunrise to sunset.

Cohen pointed to the Lemon Bar and immediately said, "Mom, I want to go there. I want to go to Wemon Bar."
Family fun on the beach

We spent the majority of each day playing on the beach. It was fun but exhausting. Just ask Henry...
This is how Henry rolled at the beach. At almost 25 pounds and not walking, it's hard carrying him everywhere.

Cohen could have looked for dolphins in the ocean all day.

We did some paddle boarding with Pop

The beach makes you hungry, so we visited most of our favorite spots - Al's, Ocean 60, Ichiban, Sliders (2 times), Salt Life and Joseph's

Being away from the beach for 13 years really makes you appreciate where you are from. It is so sad to leave our friends and family and the paradise we grew up in. We are happy to be back in Charlotte, though, but we can't wait to plan our next trip down!

Thanks to Rice and Amanda for letting us stay at their beautiful condo on the beach! Thanks to all of our friends and family for making this trip so special. Every day was filled with fun and memorable times. I would have to write a novel to recap them all.
