A Graceful Life

Last week, Kelly, Grace & I made the trek to the east coast for Sunshine’s wedding.  I was worried about the flight.  Grace is so mobile these days, I had no idea what to expect.  But, it went pretty well.  The plane was full, so there wasn’t much room.  She napped, and ate, and got fussy occasionally.  But overall – the flight was not as bad as imagined!  We stayed in Savannah, Ga for Wednesday.  We were able to see some of Savannah and have lunch.  Then we drove on to Charleston.

Thursday night was the rehearsal for the wedding.  The rehearsal dinner was really nice – great food (thanks Jake!)  Sidenote – Sunshine’s new husband is a wonderful cook!  He made the BEST mango salsa ever!!  Grace even went to sleep in her all-terrain stroller!

Friday morning we had breakfast and went to the beach.  Grace absolutely loved the ocean!  She was so excited by the water and waves.  I think one of the best parts of motherhood is watching your children experience new adventures!  Watching Grace’s reaction to the ocean, makes the ocean that much more amazing to me.  On Saturday we put her in her super cute bathing suit and actually took her in the water.  She laughed and squealed!  She was not scared for 1 second.  It was awesome!  I love the beach!  Really, could Grace look cuter in her suit?  I don’t think so!

We spent a little more time in Savannah Saturday night.  And learned that horses scare Grace.  Kelly took her over to see one of those horses that pull a carriage, and she was totally scared.  

Overall, I was so proud of Grace the whole trip and had so much fun watching her experience new things.

More to come…
