Medlin/Robbins Annual Beach Trip...

 Oh be prepared for pictures...lots of pictures! We had such a great time on vacation. My parents are starting a tradition to always go to the beach for mom's spring break week. Whichever of the kids can get there it's a free vaca! Umm...yes, please! The girls did awesome on the drive down and we had such a great time. The boys were training for the Louisiana Half Ironman so they would head to do that while the girls napped. Then we would all head out to the beach or pool or wherever. I loved the freedom we all had. Belle was a bit "frightened" by the amount of sun brightness but Lulu was LOVING the sand. She crawled in it, play with it, and ate large amounts of it. We loved the condo we stayed at because it also had an indoor pool and the girls LOVED this as it was not cold and the sun was not bright. It was the perfect condo for us! We felt so blessed to be with Nana, Papa D, Aunt Pat and Uncle Michael. It was just the best! We rested, played games, ate so good, and watched March Madness. Nana was a bit sick and out of it with some tooth pain (jaw stuff) but was still so fun to be with especially after the pain killers. Aunt Pat spoiled us with her cooking and Papa D brought fried pies from Cabot that were A.MAZ.ING. Lulu loved her some corn...even in her toes. Michael got woken up every day very early by...everyone. All in all this trip (the first of many) was perfect!

The pictures will tell the rest of the story...
