Grayton Beach 2014

Two weeks after our first beach trip of the summer, we headed out for Florida again for beach trip number 2 with the Richardson side of the family! For the first time in years, we did not go to the Outer Banks. :( But we discovered beautiful Highway 30a and Grayton Beach! It was great to see everyone and spend time together, and the girls loved playing with Ben and Will all week. 
We were so lucky to have another week of sunny weather and got to enjoy lots of beach and pool time.
Heading to Birmingham for the night after our last day of VBS...
Happy travelers...
We spent the night in Birmingham and decided to wait around a little bit and meet up with Ryan and Jenny and the boys as they came through. Hanging out at Bass Pro Shop while we wait...


We met up with everyone, and the girls were so excited for Ben to ride in our car...
McDonalds pit stop...
We made it! It was beautiful out, so we all headed for a little walk to the beach...
Jenny and Will :)
Gorgeous views!

Another day on the beach! One of these girls is happier than the other lol ;) 
Savannah and her sensitive skin! She did not love getting salt or sand in any of her creases, and we had to add lotion and sunscreen all day to try and help it- and sometimes that wasn't even enough... :) 

Savannah pouting in the distance...
Doing better and wants to be covered with sand now??
Cute mermaid though...
Hang loose with Daddy...
Little artist...
Cutie!



Lunchtime...
More sweet naps...
One night we traded off with Ryan and Jenny and took turns keeping the kids and going out to dinner. We went to Stinky's Fish Camp and it was wonderful! 

Oh Savannah. Only She sleeps with half of her body out of a twin size tent :)
All lotioned up and ready to go again!...

If we lived by the beach I bet Savannah would make a great surfer girl!

More fun Jenny drinks!...
We visited Seaside for the first time! It is such a cool (& busy!) spot. We walked around for a bit and had dinner out of food trucks, and then stopped at Blue Mountain Creamery on the way home...yum...
These cute kiddos!!...


After ice cream we went for a walk on the beach...

Apparently I love documenting exhausted Savannah...it's the only time she is still!!..
Last Day! :( Hanging out and waiting for last day donuts to arrive...







After a gorgeous last day at the beach and pool, we were going to stay in and try and get packed. Then we saw this beautiful rainbow and had to head back to the beach!...






Savannah and Ben loved checking out this cool sandcastle...


Sleepy Sky in her closet tent ;)...
On the way home! ;( This is how Savannah entertains herself at a rest stop. 
Heaven forbid there be any actual resting...
Stay this cute forever girls! Skylar and her skinned knees, and Savannah and her sparkle Crocs....
I am pretty crazy about them...
It's not always the easiest trip, but I'm so glad we get to look forward to it every year! Can't wait to see what Summer 2015 brings!...
