Alabama Road Trip

Brooke and I decided to make a road trip over to Enterprise, AL so that Brooke could get her new car and to see the rest of the family. The trip had a rocky beginning, as I thought Lindy would sleep the entire way, but she managed to stay up until about 10:30 pm and demanded her Music Class CD to be played...3 hours of "I'm so happy to see mommy, I'm so happy to see daddy..." is enough to drive anyone crazy. Then as we approached Enterprise, deep in conversation (and Lindy finally sleeping), I get pulled over doing 71 in a 55...second speeding ticket in 2 weeks...Urgh!!

Anyway, once we got there, we had a great time. We decided Monday afternoon to make an impromptu trip to Panama City Beach and once we told Lindy, there was NO turning back. She absolutely loved playing in the sand and putting her feet in water. I think her biggest highlight was watching Mikey and his friend, Lance, try to boogie board on the waves. She kept cheering, "Come on Guys". Panama City is much nicer than I remember it, they added a boardwalk section called Pier Park, which included lots of cute shops, ice cream, pizza, carousel, and to top it off a bungee jumping, trampoline thing that I was shocked Lindy did. She is very timid about even walking on the playground equipment or balance beam at Little Gym, but she went with this strange man who put her in a harness and she never looked back. I wish I had my camera at that point because she was bouncing about 20 feet in the air, loving every minute of it.

Yesterday we just hung out at Mike & Laurie's house and then Lindy went swimming with her cousins. I heard rumors that she was jumping off of the diving board over and over again...my baby girl is turning into a daredevil!!!

It was a great visit...thanks for having us Uncle Mike & Aunt Laurie!!

Lindy was Mikey's biggest fan at the beach.
