Summer has given way to Fall in our neck of the woods. What better way to send her off than with a recap of the Campbell summer vacation, also known as "H's Deep South Tour." This two-week trip included a stay at the beach, visits to Alabama and Mississippi, and concluded with H's first football Alabama football game.
H was a perfect angel on his first plane ride. He slept during takeoff and landing and when awake, he smiled at all of his fellow passengers.
We met Grandmar, Pappy, Aunt S, and R at the beach. Don't let the beautiful sunshine fool you, we arrived just as a hurricane was making its way to the Gulf Coast. We are apparently starting a family tradition of escaping August hurricanes. First, C asked my parents for their blessing of our engagment while Hurricane Katrina swirled around them. We evacuated our honeymoon on the fourth day because of Hurricane John, and this time, H's first trip to the beach was shortened by Hurricane Isaac. Four days was downsized to two and a half, so knowing that our time would be limited, we immediately the pool.
H quickly figured out that beach naps are the best.
Our beach baby loves the water.
And we loved watching him experience it for the first time.
C and I celebrated our six anniversary while there, so we enjoyed some downtime at the lazy river pool while grandparents doted on H.
All in all, it was a happy first beach memory full of all the things it should be: hot sun, cold beer, beach naps, seafood and for our family, a hurricane evacuation...
