We had decided to take a vacation back in Dec or Jan but we was not sure on where we wanted to go. There was like three possible choices that we had. We thought of the Great Smokey mountains, a beach trip (not sure which beach when we was thinking of going to one), and Atlanta. We put each one down on a piece of paper and let Jelly Bean draw it out of a hat and which one she drew out was where we go on vacation.
Lucky for us and for her she reached her little hand in the hat (okay it was a bowl but we will call it a hat lol) and pulled out a piece of paper. We opened up that paper and seen the word beach. So that is where we went on vacation. We started to looking into which beach we wanted to go and what hotel we wanted to stay at. We had decided on Pensacola Beach and the hotel was a Holiday Inn Resorts. It was a very nice place. Up next was deciding on when to go and saving up the money for it. We had original decided to go the last week of April but plans had to be changed because Mike had to work. It was a good thing we hadn't reserved the hotel room before we found that out. So we went down to Pensacola Beach on the 1st of May and came back home on the 4th of May (May the fourth be with you lol).
On our drive down to the beach I started to get a little sick. I thought it was because of motion sickness as I was sitting in the back with Jelly Bean but nope it wasn't. That night I was up pretty much all night sick. Then the next morning I did not feel like doing anything. I did have Mike go to the little hotel store to see if they had anything for upset stomach. I took what he got for me to take. I told him that him and Jelly Bean could go on down to the swimming pool but not the beach as I wanted to see her reaction her first time on the beach. After maybe about a hour or two I went down to the hotel pool and tried to enjoy some time with them. Then we walked out to the beach (why yes we stayed at a hotel that was the beach, so much easier to do) and it was really great seeing what Jelly Bean thought of the ocean and sand. She really loved it. She didnt love the waves coming up on the beach. The current was very strong the whole time we was there. After being on the beach for a few moments we decided to go back to the room as Jelly Bean was starting to get tired and needing a nap.
After she took a nap we had lunch and then got ready to go play in the sand. She played for a little bit in the sand and watched the waves but she was ready to go back to the hotel swimming pool. She loved the swimming pool the best. I think because she was in her little floaty we bought with us to have in the pool for her and she was just going around the lazy river (yes we was still with her floating around in the lazy river. She never got out of our sight).
The next day we took family photos on the beach and then went to a aquarium. It was not all that great of a aquarium. So we plan on carrying her back to another aquarium before the summer is over with. I had really thought I was feeling better on this day but nope that night I was sick again. I am glad I had gotten sick that night instead of on our back home. Yep we was left the beach the very next day. It was a long trip back as we had stopped of to see some of Mike's family.
Jelly Bean did very good on the trip down to the beach and back. We was so scared that she was going to be crying the whole time, as she does that sometimes when we go see my parents who lives like two hours away. But she did pretty good. I am glad that we took this trip while she is still this young as now we have this experience of seeing her enjoy it. We hoping to go back to the beach again next year. We are also hoping to be able to take a little getaway for our adoption day celebration. I do not know where we will be going on that. We was hoping it would be Disney World but I do not see that happening, as it would cost to much. Maybe we will be able to go to the Smokey Mountains for that but we will see.
We hope you all are doing good. I will try to write more later. I will try to write about Jelly Bean's Beauty and the Beast pageant that is coming up on Saturday. It should be fun.
If I dont get to write then or for mother's day Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies and mommies to be out there and to all the dads that are both mom and dad happy Mother's day for you also.
