Three years ago we went to Amelia Island on a family vacation for the first time with Kelly and her family along with my parents. We had a great time but the vacation ended in disaster as well all got sick with some type of stomach bug.
Last year was not as eventful as far as sickness and again we had a great time.
We just got back from our week at the beach and we had a wonderful time. This year was a bit different as Mom and Dad were not able to go because it was Dad's first week of chemo. While Kelly was not sure that they were going to go at all because of Dad's diagnosis Mom assured her that they would be fine while we were all at the beach and if something were to happen then we could just come home. So, the kids and I packed up the car and headed down to Amelia on Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed 4 wonderful days on the beach. The kids did lots of boogie boarding including one day where the waves were pretty rough and they loved it! We went out to eat a few times and enjoyed a river cruise around Cumberland Island. Every morning Drew woke up and Face Timed Dad usually before any of the rest of us were awake. I think Freddy got up one morning and Parker made an appearance one morning, Jordan however opted to sleep in and not join Drew and Granddaddy on their daily call. I am so glad that we are able to spend as much time as we are with our family and that the kids have their cousins to play with and share life with.
