10 years + 2 kids = Vacation Day one

It's been 10 years since Josh and I said "I Do". We have so much in our lives to be thankful for. We have been planning and saving for almost a year to take a good long vacation. We left last Thursday and headed to South Padre Island. I picked Melody up from Pre-school and headed off to Dallas to get Josh. Melody was so excited to see the tall building daddy was working at. Then we drove for about about 3-4 hours and had dinner at Wendy's outside of Austin. Luke was so happy to be out of his car seat. He walked around and around tables there. Then we were off for another 5 hours. A lovely cop in San Fresno stopped me in a speeding trap about 15 minutes from our condo! I was so bummed. We decided to just let it go and get to our room, now it was bout 1:30 in the am. When we got to the condo, it was everything we were hoping for. It was such an awesome view of the beach. When the kids settled down Josh and I sat on the balcony and enjoyed!
The next morning Melody came into the room and gave me a jewelry box and said," This is because daddy loves you." In the box was a beautiful pair of diamond earrings! What a awesome anniversary surprise! Then we were off to the beach.
This is how we toted everything from our room to the beach on these handy dandy carts. Josh dug holes and placed the kids in them. Luke thought it was great.
Josh brought his sand wedge and practiced his swing.
Luke practiced his drag.
This was Melody's favorite thing to do. Josh would take her out in the waves.
The first day, Luke was a little scared of the water and preferred the sand.
Melody couldn't get enough of the ocean.

Time for sand fun!
Lots of sand.
Lots and lots of sand.
Melody's turn for the hole experience.
After nap and lunch we all enjoyed the balcony. Luke loved sitting in his own chair.


This was the view from our room.
Josh and Luke singing.
Melody and daddy time.
We had a wonderful dinner at Blackbairds. It was so yummy. We ate calamari, onion rings, crab cakes, ahi ahi, mashed potatoes, and corn dogs. We had so much food, we were able to have it for dinner the next night.
Our first day was perfect. I took so many pictures. I will try and post my favorites in the few days. Good times, Awesome times!
