The Georgia Aquarium

I wanted our family to do something fun as we road-tripped to Tennessee. Parker is still little, but I love to take him places and photograph the heck out of our experiences. This is the largest Aquarium in the world. I love love love all things zoo and aquarium, so it was obvious that we'd be visiting this place before we headed out of town.

Parker and Daddy are IN the tunnel.

He's teething so the paci will be making an appearance pretty frequently, I'm afraid.

Sweet Parker fell asleep in the stroller after a long morning of fish! I think this is the first time this has ever happened.

Parker and Mommy CRASHED on the drive through the Tennessee mountains. It was a good thing because we were pretty cranky.

Road Trip To Atlanta

Sadly, we had to pack up and leave the beach today. It's always super sad to leave the gorgeous white beaches and crystal clear blue water. My little family rented a car, packed it to the ceiling and set out for Georgia!

We called it a night pretty early so that we could get up and head to the Georgia Aquarium.

Beach Hunk

I love fancy beach photos. I don't love the dozens of families I see in white: On.A.White.Beach. We didn't take fancy pics last year since Parker was such a little boy, but this year I convinced everyone to throw on something pretty and meet me on the beach. We were rushed for daylight and my boy wasn't in the best of moods...I'd later learn that he was just hungry, but I'm pretty happy with how cute our photos turned out. Can't wait for next year!

Beach Time! Our 5th Year in Destin, Florida.

Every year we pack up and head about 10 hours East to the BEST beaches we know. It's totally worth the drive as we always have the time of our lives. This year we moved our trip up a week due to a scheduling conflict with the trip to TN. It seemed that we were cursed and that Tropical Storm Debby would ruin our week. The weather report showed 90% chance of rain + tropical storm weather for the entire week. We were so thrilled that this was not the case!
Day 1 was windy, too windy for beach chairs and umbrella set up so we took our own chairs down and battled the sand that was being thrown at us. No photos from Monday.
Day 2 weather was much better. We were able to have chairs set up but the umbrella's couldn't handle the wind. This meant that Parker wasn't able to be on the beach for long since there was no shade. Still, it was BEAUTIFUL!

Day 3 and 4 were perfect. I could have spent just one extra day on the beach since the weather was so nice. Daniel arrived mid day on Wednesday and surprised us by having caught an earlier flight. He spent Thursday on the beach with us. I think Park was so excited to have his Daddy around.
