James took a red-eye flight on sunday night so he could be with us early monday morning. He literally walked off plane an onto the boardwalk. My stress level decreased so significantly when he arrived... man oh man do I love my husband!!!!!!!!!!!!
Further down the boardwalk we stopped for our favorite pizza... Mack N Mancos. This is James teaching JD the ever-important "fold".
See the giant cup in JD's hands? It's birch beer, my favorite soda. Kinda like root beer, but not really.
More boardwalk fun. A typical day on this vacation includes hitting the boards at least 2 to 3 times a day. JD was terrified of the talking/moving pirate and parrot. But after a while he decided it was ok to go in and ride the rides....
One morning the whole family rented surreys. Ours of course was the fastest.... James peddled like a madman and singlehandedly beat everyone else.
Bobby Flay is one of James' favorite chefs.... so we visited his restaurant in the Borgata Casino Hotel in AC.
Capri spent her tooth fairy money on a hermit crab and named him "wawa". She fell in love with this crab....
Aunt Desiree made the most amazing peanut butter chocolate dessert. Seriously, it was insane. I got the recipe.
Capri stood up and sang "God Bless America" through the fireworks. All by herself, unprompted, just stood up and belted it out. It was hilarious!
4th of July was the last day we had with Daddy.... I was so sad to see him go. The next morning we drove him to the airport, sitting in the most RIDICULOUS traffic ever and got him there and to his plane with only 2 minutes to spare. Seriously, the most stressful thing ever.
This one goes down as the best vacation ever for me. I love just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe have such an amazing family!!!
There is sooo much in this post I can't decide where to start and I know I'll forget something. I am soo glad you guys got to do this. It looks like such a good time and so many family memories were made. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that pic of James and Capri. How much he loves her is written all over his face. She's got that guy wrapped around her little finger for sure and I LOVE it. Just as it should be. A girl NEEDS her daddy sooo much. And then the pic of JD in his undies...he was soo done you can just tell. And eating his pizza...a pro for sure. And don't even get me started on Tella. She is just soo adorable. You look like a stun in that pic with her. I know you didn't like it, but I did like James's mustache, but I love that he took it off cuz you didn't like it. What a fun time for sure. I am sure it was hard when he left though. You are MUCH braver than me....Oh! and that dessert looks great ~ will have to try that out sometime, haha.
ReplyDeleteI knew I would forget something....I LOVE that you and James got to go on a date while you were there. How wonderful...and the dinner looks great.
