Vacation 2008



Well we're back and we survived another vacation to Ocean City, New Jersey! The ride down was quite interesting. We got stuck in traffic on the Blue Route in Phila. because there was a Phillies game starting within the hour and Rylee got car sick. Yeah, it wasn't fun! Luckily I had a plastic tub full of toys in the front so I dumped that out and got it to Rylee just in time. Ugh, the car stank until we could pull over in New Jersey to clean it out. The poor girl, that was her first time and she was so scared. The vacation was great once we got there. The girls had so much fun and already miss being there. The weather was perfect all week. Sunny and warm during the day but cool at night for the boardwalk. It only rained once and we were already back home for the night so we were safe. Rylee made a friend within minutes of being on the beach the first day and ironically Kelsey was staying in the house next to ours so they got to be best buddies for the week. Avery loved playing in the sand and actually took a few steps into the ocean for the first time. Her new nickname is now "beach bunny" because she loved being on the beach. We went to Atlantic City on Wednesday to go to The Rainforest Cafe for dinner. If you have never been to one I highly suggest going even if you don't have any children. It's so cool and the kids loved it! A bit pricey but worth it once in a while! After dinner we walked the boardwalk for a while before heading back to OC. We spent our last day at the waterpark that's on the boardwalk. It's become somewhat of a tradition to do that and it works out great because we don't have to deal with sand all over the kids for the car ride home. I had to stand on the side and watch most of the action this year because I still wasn't cleared for swimming so most if not all of the pictures are of Dale and the girls. I have my six week check up this week and hopefully most of my restrictions will be lifted and I can go swimming! I REALLY miss being in the pool and it's hard watching the girls have so much fun while I stand on the side. So, that's pretty much the story. I took a ton of pictures (over 200) and I am having a hard time picking only a few to share so I made a slideshow of the best pictures. Enjoy!!
