Patton's 2nd Beach Trip

Jason had a very busy March and April at work so we were ready to get out of town (rain or shine) come May.  We took Patton to the beach when he was almost 3 months old and always said the next time we go we would go with Grandparents (for an extra hand).  Well we planned this trip spontaneously and my parents already had plans. Although extra help would have been great, we enjoyed just getting away as a family of 3.

Patton loved his swim classes in March and I couldn't wait to for him to try out the pool at the beach. I envisioned us hanging by the pool for four days and pushing him in his new float.  Of course the time we choose to go was when a cold front moves in. I think it was 40 degrees back in Birmingham and it never got passed 70-72 in Destin. We tried the pool one day and it was FREEZING!!  Patton wasn't too crazy about the beach b/c it was so windy.  Thankfully it was sunny most of the time. Although the trip didn't go as planned we ate very well, shopped and just enjoyed getting away for a few days.
