N.C. Beach trip

We just got back from our beach trip to grandma and papa’s in North Carolina. Madelyn and I rode with my parents all the way to Southern Shores in N.C. It was a very long drive, about 14 hours and Madelyn did not do good at all. Poor baby was still getting over her first double ear infection so that’s probably one reason she was not happy. I wised up and finally turned her car seat around to face the front and she did great on the way home. We were able to make it home in one day and Madelyn was happy the whole ride home. We had so much fun at the beach. We got to help Papa celebrate his 89th birthday while we were there. Madelyn was so scared of the waves but on the last day we were able to play on the beach and she didn't mind the waves anymore. She loved waving to all the seagulls and pelicans and thought the crabs were so funny! Here is some a lot of pictures from our trip.

  To say the car was packed full would be an understatement.
