vacation: week one

we're in hilton head for 2 weeks!! so far, it has been awesome. the drive down, while verrrry long, was really not as bad as we expected it to be. of course, mike was in the car sans jack, but believe it or not he did really well.

jack loves water, and we've done the pool and beach at home, but i wasn't sure if he would love the beach down here because there are more waves. let's just say he is a daredevil! he is not phased in the least by the waves or the salt water, which he keeps drinking?! in fact, he is so fearless that he runs right into the water without waiting for one of us. not to mention he apparently thinks he's michael phelps in the pool--he attempts to jump in all by himself and tries to go underwater and then laughs and goes hahaha!

here are some pics, i have a lot so i'll post some random ones in the next day or so as well...

portable dvd player--best purchase thus far. it saved us at 3am when he was woken up by lovely i-95 traffic in DC...


he'll sit in the seat for about 2 minutes and then he wants to get out and "swim" by himself


1st beach day...wanted to go right out into the waves


more sand dad, more sand...


early morning beach walk with mimi...they saw a sand dollar, crabs, a baby alligator, and held a starfish!

Glad you are having a great time Jack. Tell dad to put a hat on (his head is burnt). :-) Enjoy your second week.
Love, Gram T.

Hi Jack, We miss you already. We had so much fun with you, mommy and daddy and can't believe it's over and we're home. We also can't believe how many new words you can say. Of course now we will all watch our p's and q's for sure.
I bet you had fun today playing with all your cars and your car carrier
I will talk to you soon, be a good boy for mom and dad.
XX'S AND OOO's...Love, MiMi
