Our First Family Vacation

My husband and I hadn't taken a vacation since our "baby moon" right before our daughter, Courtney, was born. Life got busy with becoming a family, large home renovations, and just day to day living. We realized we have to make time for new experiences and creating special memories since time had gone by so fast from our last adventure. This past weekend we took our first family vacation to the Jersey shore to celebrate Courtney''s 4th birthday.

We stayed at a family friend's beautiful beach house in North Wildwood which was just a few steps from the boardwalk! The weather was absolutely perfect for the end of October, 75 degrees. We spent time exploring the area, eating delicious food, playing in the ocean, and searching for shells. The house we were staying in was an adventure in of itself for our kids. They had a blast running from room to room and discovering everything the house had to offer. It was a wonderful weekend spent together as a family!

Below are some pictures I took during the weekend.
