Vacation Day 2 - On The Road Again! (July 3rd 2011)

Day 2 was spent in the car! The WHOLE day! 13 hours of sight seeing/sitting!

This is Ryan's new carseat. When he fell asleep in the car I noticed how much the seat belt wasn't fitting him and all of a sudden I felt a need to rush out and buy him a new seat! He has a 5 pt. harness seat that he uses still because he's still under 40lbs, but because it is really un-comfy to sit in for such long periods of time we switched him into a back-up booster seat we already had, but it had no back support on it. The new one fits him perfect!
This "Mother's intuition" paid off towards the end of the vacation. So glad my baby was kept safe!

Someone was a bit bored...

A Battleship! This is the USS Alabama at the Battleship Memorial Park. We hope on a future trip to plan this into our fun so we can stop & look around!

The George C. Wallace Tunnel. This was a lot of fun to drive through & really took the kids minds off of sitting! They had a blast!

Even after sitting they were worn out by the time we arrived in Destin. As soo as we got checked in we took our "3 minute walk" down to the beach even though we couldn't see hardly anything because it was so dark! Luckily since it was so close to the 4th people were shooting off fireworks on the beach which gave us a little bit of light.
Ryan ran fully clothed right into the ocean because he was so excited which resulted in bath as soon as we returned to the room. Not only was he very wet but he had also rolled in the sand - it didn't help matters at all!
They crashed as soon as they had pj's on!
