St. Pete Beach Day 1

We just spent 4 glorious, relaxing days in St. Pete Beach, FL! It was a blast and I am so thankful for the love and hospitality of my in-laws for making this such a fun family vacation. Chad’s mom made the trip super easy for us by having diapers, wipes, a diaper bag, and all our toiletries waiting for us when we arrived… we only brought clothes! Here are some photos of the first day!

Here is their gorgeous house… I hope we can have a second home like this some day! In our dreams, maybe!

They have such an incredible view from their backyard! I wish the tree wasn’t blocking all the pretty boats!!!

We ate a yummy breakfast at The Seahorse restaurant and then walked around for a little bit by the pier!

Then it was off to the beach, of course! We stayed out for about 4 hours and Cole did so well… He went in the ocean for the first time and loved it!

We had a little pool time as well… I stole this from Chad’s mom’s camera!

  The day ended with us eating at Woody’s Waterfront as we waited for Erica and Jared’s flight to come in. I like this photo because I have a matching one from EIGHT YEARS AGO when we ate here the last time. Sometimes I can’t believe we have been together that long. We were 17 and 18 last time we went there together!

Day 2 will be much more exciting and I will post that tomorrow night! The whole family was together and we had a BLAST!
