Ahhh, the beach=my happy place!
We had literally been counting down the days to our vacation since the day we arrived home from the beach last year. We needed to recharge our batteries and this is the best way to do it!
We stayed at Pirateland Family Camping Resort in one of their vacation rentals. Spending the week of July 4th at the beach is the best! The weather was nice, but a bit hot so anything involving water was a good thing. We spent some time on the beach, but the majority of the time we were in the pool and lazy river.
The morning of July 4th we visited Ripley's Aquarium. We've been there a few times and always enjoy it. My parents came along with us this year and haven't been to the aquarium for several years so it was fun for the kids to show them a few things. They even touched a jellyfish!
Stella's favorite part of the aquarium is seeing "real live mermaids"!
Also on the 4th, we enjoyed a golf cart parade in the campground and fireworks on the beach.
It really was a great week and we didn't leave without making reservations for next year!
The countdown is on!
