Summer Vacation 2017

Just when I didn't think we were going to have a real summer vacation this year (mainly due to my early pregnancy woes and many a cancelled trips), we managed to squeeze in one week of visiting family and friends.  It had all the best elements of a vacation - no school for Olivia, sleeping in (past 8AM!) for S and me, home cooked meals, fancy hotel, and plenty of adult only time.  We packed up a car full (of mainly Olivia's belongings.  Geez that little kid has serious baggage) and drove all up and down the GA coast.

As we found out on this trip, Olivia loves playing with sand and spend about three hours sitting in this very spot digging around with her plastic spatula.  She also loves splashing around in the pool (while being held tightly by me or her daddy).  She is, however, not a fan of the ocean.  She will cry bloody murder if you try to dip her toes in the waves.  Bloody murder.  

Solar Eclipse 2017.  It happened around 2:45pm Eastern Time and Olivia slept through it all.  It was an overcast and rainy day on St Simons Island and didn't get very dark at all.  Still very cool to see.

Last family evening out on SSI before returning home.  Olivia Do 2.5 years old.  Me 15 weeks pregnant.  No matter how old I am, I always feel like a child at my parents' house - in a good way.  My mom cooks for us, washes our clothes, tells me when to go to bed... while my dad plays with Olivia and has philosophical discussions with me about world affairs.  There is no place like home.
