July 19 - Laguna Beach

good morning!

As soon as the swim meet was over last Sunday, we were on the road and driving east. We never attempted a long trip with Julia and Luke at this age so we were nervous about how Jillian would handle it. Since we didn't leave Houston until after 4pm, we only drove a few hours and then stayed overnight in a hotel, our first time as a family of 5 in one room. Jillian was wide awake until around 10pm, but once she fell asleep all was good. 

Monday was a big driving day and it was uneventful. We hit no major traffic jams and Jillian was perfect in the car, zero crying! We arrived at the condo around 6pm and were so happy to officially start vacation. I left all the planning for this trip in Jill's hands and she did an amazing job. We stayed in a 3-story condo (3 bed/3 bath) that was directly on Laguna Beach (very northern tip of Panama City Beach, east of Destin). The kids were super excited about the kids rooms, complete with 2 sets of bunk beds. Julia and Luke bonded with Julia and Arthur and the kids immediately and hit the beach. 

Vacation!!
