Amelia Island

The kids and I went with Steve to the GBWA convention at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island last week (Ms. Lisa also came along, which was a huge help!). The beach there is very pretty but has TONS of seashells (which makes it very hard to walk on).  We took the boys to the beach in the mornings while Catelin was napping – they really enjoyed it.
(Unfortunately I forgot my camera every time we went down there!)


The kids seemed to have much more fun in the pool than the ocean so we spent the majority of our time there.








The only family picture I got the whole time was (of course) in the pool!




The Ritz was surprisingly kid-friendly and had organized treasure hunts, shark tooth hunts, and other activities.  The last day MJ was so exhausted he took a nap in the lounge chair...




We spent Catelin’s actual birthday down there and took her to a cute little sports bar/restaurant in the hotel for dinner.  It was actually great because the people there did not care at all if she boot-scooted around in between bites of her meal – she was in heaven!







It was a wonderful little vacation- the kids were worn out the rest of the week!
