Peace, Love & Our First Family Vacation

Today offically begins my first family vacation! We have visited other places as a family but it has always been for a family function or for a wedding or that sort of thing. This marks the first time that my Mommy, Daddy & I have taken a trip someplace where we don't have to do anything or see anyone. I get a whole week of one-on-one time with my Mommy & Daddy, how cool is that! Of course before any vacation gets started you have to get everything packed & in the truck. Mommy packed us up this morning, while doing a last minute load of laundry, and Daddy spent most of his time getting the truck we weren't taking to fit into our garage. After three coolers, two bags of clothes, a toiletry bag, a fan, a couple fishing poles, a box of towels, a box of pots & pans, a small bag of toys and a computer bag... we were ready to roll.

Just in case anyone was curious, yes the Ranger did fit inside our garage. It took a storage space at the local U-haul and some persistance, but it did fit (the last time it was in the garage was was before I was born when Hurricane Rita threatened Houston).

Me sleeping as we leave College Station. I only slept for 20 minutes out of the 3 hour ride because I wanted to take in all of the scenery.

The sign of the place where we are staying as seen from the deck outside our front door.

My first deer sighting (I wouldn't let Mommy & Daddy put shorts on me after my diaper change).

A video of my first shower experience and yes its mildly embarassing. I had to take a shower since our bathtub only runs water through the shower head.

Me enjoying the shower, it was kinda like playing in the rain.

I didn't really notice it but apparently our shower is only for short people, look where the shower head comes up to on my Daddy!

So far our vacation is off to a really good start. We got here safe and sound and Aunt Erin and Uncle Ben will be here after I go to bed. I'm pretty sure that Mommy and Daddy have some really cool things planned for this week, like a trip to SeaWorld, aside from the hiking, swimming and fishing which are right outside our doors.

Peace, love & our first family vacation,
