Jacksonvile NAS

We visited the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, FL. Here are some pictures of the airplane display they have at the entrance. (Xander had a little issue with his pants so they were drying on top of the vehicle while we explored LOL )

Fernandina Beach

Here are a few of the beach pictures from our vacation to Florida! We had such an amazing time enjoying the beach, sun, waves, relaxation... Only been home one day and ready to go back! Alixander went from being terrified of the waves to splashing through them. We went early in the morning and there were huge tide pools left on the beach. They were almost knee high to me! The kids treated them like swimming pools and splashed, cannonballed, swam and jumped into them :) Was a great way to enjoy the beach without worrying about the waves! The weather was beautiful and the beach was almost entirely ours the whole time! It was a great vacation and we are looking forward to having another one next year so we can bring Daddy with :)

Downtown Amelia Island

We took the kids downtown for Superman ice cream and to see the marina. They loved the ice cream, though some kids decided they wanted Thomas and Train ice cream and thankfully it was the correct colors :) We then went to the marina and saw birds and boats and a shark!

Biscuits Baseball

We went to the military appreciation baseball game for the Montgomery Biscuits. Alixander had lots of fun running along the seats putting them up and then down and sharing popcorn with everyone!

Pool Time

Here is Alixander in his pool at Grandpa's practicing for the beach :)

Beach Day!!!!

Here are the pictures from the beach in North Carolina. Xander had a lot of fun but wasn't so sure about the waves! The seagulls loved following him around (as you can see in the second picture) because he was normally carrying at least one goldfish cracker. Seagulls love goldfish crackers lol!

Marbles Children's Museum

We visited the Marbles Children's Museum in Raleigh, NC today. It was an awesome museum that Alixander enjoyed to the fullest! They have a child-sized boat, firetruck, ambulance, submarine and pirate ship! They also have pretend gardens, kitchens and shops as well as a splash zone and train tables. The upstairs is all about moving and playing and has areas for kids to construct, learn about money and invent things. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Raleigh area!
