Sunset Beach

Over the week-end we went with Memama, Granddaddy, and Aunt Kendra for a short vacation. We went to Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Big Daddy and Grammy went along with us too. We had such a great time!

It rained on us the entire trip down and stopped after supper so we headed across the one lane swing bridge to the beach. It was the perfect time to be there. There was no one else on the beach except a couple getting married, one set of parents, and the man officating the wedding.

We captured some great photo moments. This was the first time that Faith has seen the ocean and the first time that Hannah Grace will remember to see the ocean. The night was so wonderful, I could have left right then and the entire week-end would have been worth it.



On Friday, Travis and Tommy went for a morning of golf and the rest of us headed to the pool. (We stay at the Sea Trail Resort, I highly recommend it.) After lunch and a quick nap for the girls we headed back to the beach.



On Thursday evening, we went to Broadway At the Beach just to walk around a little.

On Saturday morning, Samuel woke up with a red face from where he had rubbed all the sunscreen off his face each time water got in his eyes at the ocean. So, Travis and I went back to the beach with the girls and everyone else just hung out at the pool.

The BIG event of the week-end was Faith giving her passie (pacifer) to the "Baby Sharks". We had talked about giving it up for weeks and when the time finally came she walked right up to the pier and threw her passie. So, The Sparks House is a passie-free home!!!!!!!! She never asked about it Saturday night, but we did have a pretty rough night going to bed last night. We made it and she went to bed find tonight.

I took over 100 pictures in just three days, so please forgive me. I will upload them to Bubbleshare and post them later.

Thanks for a great week-end - we can't wait until next summer's vacation: DISNEY!
