Emerald Isle

Emerald Isle has always held a sentimental spot in my heart. That's the beach that I grew up going to - my grandparents had a condo there, and our family vacationed there several times a year. Also, it's where Jason proposed to me. Jason also grew up vacationing at Emerald Isle once a year. So naturally, Russell needed to see it!

We went for a week with Jason's parents. The weather was gorgeous, and our house had the best deck right on the ocean.

Our little beach bum enjoyed the deck - at least, when the sun went down a bit!

Russell and his PawPaw got lots of quality time together.

A good family pic:

Vacations are certainly different with a baby! Russell did not sleep well at the beach, and is having a hard time getting back to his normal 7-uninterrupted-hours-of-sleep even now that we're back. Hopefully he'll be back in the swing of things soon!
