Final Destination - Seaside, Florida

Thursday morning we got up and had a quick breakfast with a friend of Kandy's who now lives in Atlanta. After that, we hit the road again. We ran into some traffic and it took a little longer than we hoped, but we finally arrived in Seaside around 4:00. Amanda reserved her company's condo which is located right across the street from the beach and right above one of the buildings in the center of the town. The city is beautiful and the condo is amazing. Hanging out on the balcony.

Looking out of our balcony to the right. Look familiar? The Truman Show was filmed here.

Looking out our balcony to the left. That's the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not sure if it was because he was tired or just a little unsure of where he was, but Finn pretty much kept his head snuggled on my chest. So sweet! No bathtub in the condo, but the kitchen sink was just Finn's size.Headed down to the beach.Feet in the sand for the first time.Feet in the water for the first time.Amanda and Corinne playing in the waves. Corinne LOVED the beach! Staying cool in the shade.Why is everyone else so tired?Finn looked adorable in his "beach duds." We got these at a kids consignment shop and it is sized at 2T. Really? Kids sizing is so crazy.Finn was asleep by 8 on the 4th, but when the fireworks started at 9 he woke right up. I went ahead and pulled him out of bed and we were able to watch the fireworks over the Gulf from an open balcony area in the condo complex. Great show and Finn went right back to sleep when they were over.Cousin Corinne was great with "Baby Finn Finn." She even put on her froggy dress when she saw that he had his froggy shirt on. Happy group shot. Where's Grandma Kandy? Not sure why we didn't set a timer and get her in the picture, too.

Our first family vacation was fantastic, or should I say Finntastic? Finn was a great little traveler and we had a wonderful time. Looking forward to many more family vacations!
