I was finally coming to terms with the brutal winter we’ve had, and then it snowed in April! I thought “that’s it I’m booking a vacation!” I don’t know if this is dramatic, but I think Mother Nature might have it out for me. Here’s how our latest family vaca went down:

Day 1: Our vacation got off to the right start as we spent our first day soaking up the sun on the beach.   While the Littles took on the waves with their boogie boards, I sat with for hours with a new book and my toes in the sand.

{Cue the Go-Go’s “Vacation,” because this was turning out to be everything we could have asked for in a get-a-way.}

Day 2: Littlest Little has an internal alarm clock like you wouldn't believe. She woke up at 5:45 am and to avoid waking up Hubby and the other Littles, we snuck out for an early morning walk on the beach.

After our walk we came back to the room to get ready for the day, and within minutes what had looked like the perfect beach day turned into an absolute down pour. WHAT!

One thing you should know about me is that I never let anything rain on my parade. Especially when my “parade” happens to be a week-long vacation! My next challenge was to entertain the Littles for the rest of the week with indoor activities. I picked up every brochure in the hotel lobby and off we were sight-seeing and exploring!

Although our vacation didn’t go exactly as planned, and there were a lot less beach days than I had originally imagined, we still had a great time and made lots of memories! Here are pictures from our adventures!

Day 3: Arcade Fun!

I look forward to finding these little "prizes" around the house and in my vacuum cleaner!

After a day full of gaming and skee-balling, we found a movie theatre and saw Captain America 2!

Day 4: Visit to the Aquarium

I even ran into a fellow QVC Queen while we were there! 

    After the aquarium we had a friendly match of Family bowling!

Day 5: We did see some sun on Day 5, but not enough to hang out on the beach, so we found an outdoor kid zone where the Littles had a blast!

Oh and I found a QVC outlet… and also had a blast 

Day 6: Yet another non-beach day, so we found a place to take the Littles on a helicopter ride!

On our last night we went to see a Pirate Show and had a great dinner!

Here is our picture from the Pirate show and dinner... Remember Hubby is not fond of Facebook photos!
