The Brent's: Perdido

After swim lessons and a morning of packing my car, pretty much holding Margaret, we were FINALLY off!!

Poor thing didn't even make it to San Marco before she was out cold!

She only slept for an hour and half which was not good for mommy but she was a trouper! We did stop for an hour for lunch. It was a LONG trip just the two of us but we both survived.

We were so glad to see daddy. We quickly unloaded the car and headed to the beach before

enjoying a yummy dinner on the balcony.

The first few days were spent in the HOT sun with daddy playing on the beach and swimming.

She was always ready to go to "a pool." Pretty much the first words out of her mouth whenever she woke up.

She loved the elevator!!

Monday, the afternoon storms rolled in but it didn't bother mommy one bit. Daddy had left before 6 to head to Mobile for work so I was on my own. Margaret was down for a nap and I sat on the balcony and read an entire magazine at one sitting. Amazing I know :) Not sure the last time that happened!

We definitely missed daddy all week. Since he only gets 2 weeks off for the entire year and already used one week for the Bahamas, we figured he needed to save his remaining days for Baby Brent #2.

Baby in tow of course :)

Tuesday we headed to Fairhope to see Liz's house and play.

We stopped at an adorable toy store and Margaret had a ball running around :)

Before heading back we stopped at Bass Pro to see the fishes!

As soon as we dropped Aunt Liz off she was out cold. Poor thing was a trouper for being gone 10 hours and not really having a nap.

Each time we sat down to eat and baby was not around, Margaret would freak! So a special trip to Toys-R-Us was in order. It has been a lifesaver at EVERY meal!

Margaret wasn't as fond of the beach as she was the pool. It was such a haul to get down there on my own and with the sand being so soft it really wore me out! So mommy didn't mind one bit.

We didn't do enough of these! Who wouldn't like to swim day and night. Our little fishy was in heaven!

Flying her first kite with daddy.

The Joyners came Friday and we headed to the Hangout to celebrate JJ's birthday.

The girls had so much fun dancing and people watching. Unfortunately they only stayed one night. The weather was so yucky Saturday they decided to go ahead and start driving to New Orleans where they were flying out of Monday morning.
