Trip to the Beach!!

Last summer Tyler and I took several trips to beaches in Florida together, just the two of us. This week marked the end of that era. Jackson came with us on our first family trip to South Florida! And it wasn't just any trip, we stayed right on the beach at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach, FL.

Here is Jackson and me on our balcony. We stayed on the 5th floor, overlooking the pool and Atlantic Ocean! We got lucky because Ty's company's travel agent was offering a discounted price at this hotel, so we were able to stay there instead of the typical Holiday Inn Express. It was so much nicer than what we'd gotten used to, but it was perfect to have another room with Jackson there.

Most of the trip consisted of me hangin out with Jackson while Tyler was working. We went down to the pool, took walks down the boardwalk, and went down to the beach.

Wednesday morning we were able to hang out with Tyler and Jackson experienced his first real beach day! Not bad for his 7 week birthday party...

Grandma Jennings got him this cute little swimsuit outfit, too bad he's already growing out of the top! His tummy is just too cute and big!

Tyler and I spent most of the time sitting right next to Jacksy so we could block the sun from the little guy. He's still too young to wear sunscreen, so we didn't want his precious little skin to burn!

Here's proof that he got in the Ocean!

Ty couldn't resist taking Jackson in the pool with him.


He was so good for the whole trip, we are so blessed to have such an easy going baby! He slept the whole drive back to Orlando - 3 hours!

He's so big that he's been wearing 0-3 month clothes for a month now, and now can fit in some of his 3-6 month outfits.


He loves his swing, but he just now realized that the swing has a mobile too, he is enthralled with the little fishies that spin around and around. Its fun that he's much more alert and smiley now :-)

Such a peaceful little guy, we're in love with him!
