...staycation2013!...

This summer... we had an opportunity to go on a little staycation at a JW Marriot in town... this is the second summer we've done this... and leading up to it- I was SO excited!  I love nothing more than having NO responsibilities and spending quality time with my family.  I started getting a little nervous the closer we got to our vacation- you know... when something was super fun once and then you are let down when you do it again... We had such a blast when we did this the year before that I just knew that this year was going to be disastrous....

But we ended up having a REALLY awesome time.  Waking up each day...eating a quick breakfast in our room/patio...getting our suits on...getting our SPF on...and then hitting the pool... all.day.long.  It was truly bliss.  And watching Jude turn into this little fish was something I'll never forget.  It was a sweet time.  We also got upgraded to a fabulous suite...and it was HUGE... love love loved it! 

Jude and Daddy got to go to a dive in movie the first night while mommy and the girls snuggled and watched Monster's Inc in the room.  The second night we took the kiddos to see Monster's University... but the rest of the time... swim swim swim! 

This has become a wonderful summer tradition...and I hope we can do it annually.. but mostly... I love my family... and I'm so blessed we were able to spend such quality time together!
