Hi, Remember Us........The Newsom Girls?

It's hard to keep up with the blog when your subjects are social butterflies!

We had an unbelievable beach vacation.  You know, the kind where you come straight home and start looking for next year?

Although this little girl put on this bathing suit and hat and said "I look like a Hawaii girl, mommy, can we go to Hawaii".....Day ONE of her non-Hawaii vacation! 

I know...............

Sand everywhere just like a beach vacation is suppose to be!

Sunset pictures on the beach....

A "real" (per Delaney) Pirate Ship 

(where leave it to me to run into someone I know on a ship in the middle of the ocean--a fireman of course!)

What's wrong with this picture?

Most kids had "real" sand buckets, not mine, a McD's Happy Meal bucket for Delaney! 

She LOVED playing in the sand.......

Dinner on the dock (and feeding the catfish)

I think I have watched this video 552 times! 

Once she saw these "whales" a/k/a dolphins....

She decided this was as far into the water as she was going!

Seafood EVERY NIGHT!!! Don't worry, I split this!!

and Fresh Calamari.....

Now, who's going to help me unpack?  I went from one suitcase to another when we got home and they "may" both still be sitting in our kitchen.  I think the cleaning lady is still on vacation!

This was our first vacation without the stroller and Delaney did great! She wheeled her firetruck suitcase through the airport like a seasoned traveler.  One lady stopped and said "that's quite the little traveler you've got there". She is so much fun to go on vacation with maybe we will rethink Hawaii. She thought our hotel room was an apartment and was upset someone was going to live in it after we left.  We may have another trip this year to the big apple and then some fun ones already for next year including a family vacation for 22 to the mountains! And to The Happiest Place on Earth (which the thought of planning makes it sound like The Most Stressful Place on Earth)! Thank you Pinterest!
