Will and I took some time off so we could enjoy a four day weekend at the beach in North Carolina. We had such a fantastic time! It had been a while since we have been able to go away so we thought renting a beach condo would be fun! We were a little nervous for the 7 hour drive with Colin but he was so well-behaved! Not that he usually isn't...he is actually a very well-behaved kid, but 7 hours in a car could make anyone grumpy. The condo was beautiful and perfect for the three of us. We were able to hang out there without feeling cooped up in a hotel room and had a ocean view that was just beautiful! It took us about 3 minutes to get to the beach (mostly because Colin can be a bit slow - he gets distracted easily). We spent most of our mornings on the beach. It was nice and warm, even the water was! Nothing like the Oregon coast water! Freezing! We would take an afternoon break (Colin is pretty fair-skinned) then we would come back in the late afternoon. It was nice to just read, play, and watch a kids movie here and there. Colin LOVED the Polar Express and Robots! Then there are some of his favorites, like Kung Fu Panda! Unfortunately, I did have homework that I had to do during our trip but I was able to finish it while watching a show with Colin and Will. 
Colin was a little timid with the water. He would always have his eye on the tide and once it got close he would run away! It was very cute. He would let us hold him while the waves would hit us as long as he did not get too wet. Will and Colin collected a lot of seashells. I think Colin and I will do an art project with some of the shells he picked out (maybe decorate a picture frame). I am so glad we were able to do this. I have a trip coming up soon, so it was nice to get a way as a family before I am gone for two weeks.
Here are some pictures from our weekend:
