I was super happy Bra was able to get off early on Friday. I didn't think we would leave until after 4:00, but instead we got to our destination at 4:00, woo-hoo!!!
The drive took just a bit less than 3 hours. I was so eager to get there, that when Bra got home {much earlier than expected} I had the car loaded & ready to go.
We were the first family to arrive {aside from my in-laws}. I remember stepping down the stairs from the garage to the house & being in awe. The house was absolutely gorgeous! It looked like a page from Coastal Living. The house was painted a perfect cool blue shade & trimmed in white. SO beachy!
I must mention a HUGE thanks to my Father-In-Law &
Mother-In-Law for setting this whole trip up. I look forward to sharing
(in later posts) all of the fun games my Mother-In-Law had in store for
us. Too much fun!!
The house was very roomy. There were 5 rooms plus a large loft with a couple of beds. Altogether, we had 14 people & this house could have EASILY fit quite a few more especially since neither of my kids took a bunkbed. Jax slept in the portacrib & Reagan on a toddler mattress with PLENTY of room to spare.
See that BIG blue house {right where the flag it pointing}? That's where we stayed :)
Front porch
Outdoor dining with heat lamp {it got chilly!}
We were walking distance from the boardwalk. Never once did we drive there.
The basement downstairs had fooseball, a ping pong table, & darts

This is the kitchen where we spent lots of time at this fantastic table drinking coffee & chatting.

Once we were settled, we walked down to the boardwalk to get season passes. We couldn't help ourselves & noshed on lots of goodies... roasted corn on the cob, a burger, a corn dog with sweet potato fries, & a couple of tacos. Really got our boardwalk food fix.
In the evening our little fam & Papa Dave walked down to check out the beach.
We ended the night with bedtime prayers & a story. It was a great start to a fantastic vacation.
