At the beach...

Our first family photo at the beach.

Ready to jump in the water!

I love seeing her tiny footprints in the sand.

She couldn't get enough of the water...

We were able to meet up with some of the Virginia Beach Herndons for dinner. My Uncle Van, Aunt Robin, Amy, and Evan joined us at Rudee's on the Inlet for a yummy meal.

The next morning before Mom and Dad needed to head back we went to the Virginia Aquarium .

That evening, Uncle Van and Aunt Robin invited us to their house for dinner. Sophia and Raph keeping Aunt Robin company in the kitchen.

On our last day, we got up early and headed to a quiet part of beach. It was a beautiful morning and we even saw dolphins swimming nearby. Sophia was so content at the beach. The sand never bothered her and she was not intimated to run out into the water.

Our beach baby.

We were able to squeeze in a little family vacation at Virginia Beach last week. Sophia had her first taste of the beach and she loved it! It was so much fun watching her experience the ocean for the first time and to see the excitement on her face.

Mom and Dad joined us for the first part of our stay and we were also able to see my Aunt, Uncle, and some cousins.

It was a wonderful vacation...
