Pawleys Island, SC

For those of you that don't know my mom's family is from South Carolina. My grandpa and grandma were born there and my mom lived there for a few years before moving to Ohio. My Papa loved Pawley's Island and had vacationed there since he was a kid. Pawley's is south of Myrtle Beach and North of Charleston. It's a great old fashion area with beautiful Beaches and homes and wonderful restaurants. Lately we have been staying off the island on Litchfield beach but it's all pretty much the same thing to me! I love it and Justin has grown to love it and I think we will go every year!

So our trip this year was very different than in years past, in fact last years trip I was 5 month pregnant and dreamed about coming back year after year with Jackson. It was really neat bringing Jackson to a place that was so special to my Papa! Jacker liked the pool, the condo and hanging out with mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and cousin Koty but did not care much for the beach or going out to dinner, I know this will all change with time!

This is Litchefield Beach

This is Caledonia, a really beautiful area near Pawley's the road lined with gorgeous Live Oaks.

The view from our condo.

Jackson spent a lot of time in his Excersaucer in the condo smiling at his family.

Justin and I had date night thanks to my wonderful Parents! We took a nice romantic walk on the beach after dinner and came across a man that caught this......

Ahhhh! A baby shark, I thought Koty would never get back in the water after we showed him the picture...but he did!

We love the Aquarium!!!

Mom and I opted for shopping with Jackson but the other boys played putt putt!

What a ham!!

Jackson also slept very well while we were at the beach he liked to take naps in mommy and daddy's big bed!

As you can see we had a great time!! We have even decided to go for 2 weeks next year and hopefully more family will join us (for one of the weeks {wink})!!!

How have all your family vacations been this year, where did you go what did you do?
