At the end of July, we (with most of the Deckers) went to North Carolina for a beach vacation.
It was our first big vacation with the kids, and our first time flying with the boys. I think the kids were the most excited to get on the airplane. Unfortunately, we missed our very early morning flight.
But, we were still able to get out that day, and the kids all loved the airplane. Considering it was like a 20 hour day, the older two were great, and Sawyer was fine with lots and lots of distractions.
Obviously, we spent lots of time at the beach. The kids all LOVED it and never got tired of being there. Ryder and Rilyn are both little fishes and would have spent every waking second in the water.
We even did a little crabbing one night with Grandma.
We had lots of after dinner popsicles with the cousins.
We got all dressed up for Tyler's cousin's wedding, which is why we actually went to North Carolina.
We took a couple day trips. One was to the Wright Brother Memorial, which was really interesting. It was pretty hot and there was lots of walking, but other than that we had a good time!
We also visited a lighthouse. Again, it was really hot...seriously as soon as we left the water I was hot ha. I had never been to a lighthouse, and was excited to get to the top. Unfortunately, no kiddos could be carried and they had to be over a certain height so only Rilyn out of the littles could go so we had to take shifts. Ryder was pretty sad he was too short, but Grandma Decker made him feel better by letting him pick out a book in the gift shop.
It was such a fun trip and the kids are still talking about it almost daily. It was nice spending so much time with family and watching the kids experience so many new things. I loved watching them try new foods and experience all the loveliness of North Carolina. We would love to go back and both Tyler and I realized how much we love traveling even with littles. It was tons of work but so worth all of it. Also, Tyler and I have adopted a new attitude called "Vacation Anna and Tyler." Because we love how awesome we were together on vacation. Hopefully, it lasts us until the next vacation.
