Friday we took off of work to drive 3 hours to the beach. We were about an hour behind schedule, but it all worked out okay. Marissa took two naps on the way and was ready to go when we got to the hotel. We unloaded our bags and decided to break out the stroller and hit the board walk to get some lunch. Marissa loves riding in her stroller.
We grabbed Chinese for lunch and then headed back to the hotel room to get ready for dinner. We met Dorsey and Kadee (and lil Tommy, too) for dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. We had patio seating which was nice, though it was a little hot. Kadee being 38 weeks pregnant had to be ready for AC by the time we left. But we chowed down on all kinds of yumminess! After dinner we strolled back to the hotel to get Marissa in bed at a decent time.

Just like her daddy, always has to have her feet propped up.
Saturday we walked to Starbucks for iced coffees. Marissa and I shared a sausage egg and cheese muffin, it was tasty! Are you noticing a common theme in this post? Ha, ha...our trip was all about food! :) Then we hit the pool for a little bit!
That afternoon we met some new friends for pizza and hanging out on the beach. Megan and Lauren are some friends that have been a part of a mom's group that I am also in. Their babies are also born in August, just like Marissa. It was really neat to see all three kids together. Marissa is by far the smallest baby, but she was also the only girl. They all really seemed to like the beach, Chayse loved the water but Marissa didn't think much of the waves. We tried to sit her in the sand with just a little bit of water but she screamed. We tried explaining that it was just like a giant bath tub to her, but have you ever tried reasoning with a 10 month old? Hopefully in September when we go to the OBX she will warm up to the ocean a little bit.
Lauren, Chayse, Alicia, Marissa, Megan and Jackson!

Ahh, refreshing!
We hung out at the beach for a few hours and then went our separate ways. Marissa slept in the stroller while we walked back to the hotel room and then we got cleaned up and started making dinner plans for that night. We found this really great restaurant and had a really nice dinner (minus Marissa being crabby and not wanting to sit in her high chair, so we played pass the baby during dinner). Danny had a tuna steak with chow mein noodles and a ginger cucumber salad (yum!) and I had salad and steamed crab legs. It was delicious! We were so full after dinner that we didn't save room for ice cream.
I love this picture of us! Marissa is all smiles. :-D
Before we knew it, it was already Sunday and time to start packing up to head home. We cleaned out the hotel room and packed a day bag for strolling the board walk. We went out to a nice breakfast and did some shopping. We got Marissa a beach bag full of beach toys for our next beach trip. I got a swimsuit cover up (though I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to wear it) and Danny got some new sandals. All in all it was a nice day. We finally got on the road and were home by 4:30 that evening. We got unpacked and relaxed before another work week started. It was nice to have a relaxing family weekend with just the three of us. :)
