Vacation 2012 - Part One

This Summer is moving right along and it's not stopping for anyone or anything.  Is it just me, or do the weeks of Summer move at a faster pace.  Those "lazy days" turn into a blur, but it's a blur of family, friends, sunshine, and laughter so I don't fret over it.

Last week our little family went on a much needed vacation.  Mike and I have both been mega stressed lately and it was extremely nice to load up our new minivan (yep, I'm a minivan mom now ... holla!) and just drive away from everyone and everything for a few days of uninterrupted fun.

We started our trip in Ocean City, Maryland laying on the beach and splashing in the ocean.  We stayed at the upper end of the shore, away from the hotbed of tourist traps.  The boys built sandcastles and jumped over breaking waves.  We got our seafood on and played a heated game of mini golf.  We got sand in our hair and sun kissed cheeks.  It was glorious.

(All of these pics are 100% unedited.  I'm far too lazy for all of that right now, being still in vacation mode and all.)
