Fall Break has been questionable all year. We didn't know if we were going to be able to go until only a few weeks before we left. We didn't have a huge budget so I was on the hunt for a reasonable condo for months. I found the perfect one right in budget but it meant switching condo complexes from the one we've been going to for 10 years! It ended up being great though and nowI'm pretty sure we want to go back to Emerald Isle every year!
I was pleasantly surprised by the ride down this year. I got the three littles busy bags with puzzles, coloring books, etc. and I got Evan about 10 used DS games. And allllll the downloaded movies on devices from Netflix. Oh and the best part!? The kids didn't know we were going anywhere! We didn't tell them we were going to Florida, we woke them up at 4am, told them we were going for a little drive and they went back to sleep. We told them when they woke up and they were super excited!
As soon as we got there we checked out our room, it was amazing! And the balcony was HUGE! Then we went to the beach for a bit then watched the sunset. Magical. The next 7 days were about the same. Beach, pool, beach, pool, eat, beach, pool, eat, sunset, crash out while watching tv.
We did a few things outside the resort. The pirate cruise which was a big hit and we rented a pontoon for half a day to go to Shell Island. So fun! We tried fishing but it was a bust. It's hard to know where to fish in the ocean.
I took family photos on the beach and even with all the yelling and craziness they turned out great. We had an impromptu dolphin show while we were out there, it was awesome!
Nows the part I bombard you with pictures. It's so hard for me to narrow them down so sorry there's an overload.
