What a great vacation we had last week! It was lots of fun and lots of work for Mommy and Daddy, but all worth it. We hit several places while we were gone and Sophie enjoyed most of them! First things first, we went to Wrightsville Beach where Marty's best friend now lives and spent a few days relaxing, playing in the sand and surf, and visiting a couple tourist attractions. Sophie liked the beach for the most part. At first, she didn't know what to think about the water and waves, but became braver and she and Mommy would sit by the edge and let the waves cover our legs. She also liked the sand a lot. It covered her from head to toe by the time we left. All in all, our first adventure at the beach was a hit! We can't wait to take both kids in a few years. While in NC, we also went to visit the USS North Carolina, a battleship from World War II, Fort Fisher, and the NC Aquarium. We were busy to say the least.
The next part of our vacation was spent in Gatlinburg. The Ripley's Aquarium, Titanic Museum, Go Cart Racing (Daddy, not Sophie ) and pool time were among the fun things that we did. Sophie was pretty good in the car for such a long time, there were only a couple of times that she was upset. Who could blame her when she was strapped into the car seat for hours? Along the way, she enjoyed looking at books, watching Despicable Me- her fave, and the MagnaDoodle. Surprising to us, she didn't sleep in the car very well which we were really hoping for, I think slept a total of an hour on the way down, and 30 minutes on the way home. We can't wait for more vacations in the future, but they will have to wait at least 2 years as we can't imagine giong somewhere next year with a 2 year old and 9 month old! Talk about naptime city.....
