As a kid, usually when we took a trip it was a road trip to wherever. I remember those times more for the drive, than the vacation itself. Corey, Kyleah and I hadn't experienced a family vacation yet, so when planning our trip we thought being able to see the scenery and having the experience to share the family time in the car was too good to pass up.We set out for the 15 hour drive late at night and drove straight through to SC. We too
k a long nap when we first arrived and got checked into our hotel room. One of the first things we both wanted to do was put our feet in the sand. Kyleah loves the water and she's bound to with Corey and I as her parents! When we stepped foot onto the beach for the first time, Kyleah was so excited and ready to swim. I know she didn't see the difference between the ocean and the beach at Lake Shelbyville, and I'm pretty sure now that she has discovered seashells, she will look for them anywhere sand is. We were walking along the beach at night, fully dressed, and Kyleah just took off into the water, diving right in. It was so adorable and funny that the rest of the evening Kyleah and I were not only soaked from head to toe, but covered in sticky salt water!

e also learned a lot too! Yes, Kentucky is just as hick as we always heard "Florence Y'all", Corey makes his own paths when driving (even if it is right over a curb), if tarps happen to fly off the back of a trailer on the highway most likely there will be more than just one (3), and we found out that I am able to smell skunk! Yes people drinking water is a necessity when in 100 degree weather, you can eat a crab by bashing it open any way, and every shop on the beach sells the exact same thing as the others.

e. Enjoy watching your two year old sleep peacefully. Shut your eyes and listen to your husband sing along to the radio (when he thinks you're sleeping). Take a few moments and think of your life and cherish all of the moments God has given you. And most of all, put all of the every day stresses aside, laugh, act goofy, and enjoy the time you're getting to spend with your husband and daughter, because it doesn't happen this way very often. I love you Corey and Kyleah!
