Enrique and Natalie plus one.....: First Family Vacation....a great success!

In April we went on our first family vacation with our little man and I'm happy to report that we had a BLAST! We went to Destin for 4 nights and 5 days and it was a much needed break from school and work. It was actually a group vacation and us along with our good friend Mark and Talitha, their 2 year old Taylor rented a fully furnished condo right on the beach. On Thursday, Maggie and Justin met us there to make the group complete :)

I was very worried about taking Nicolas on a plane and just hoped for the best! It turned out to be a piece of cake...this time at least! Nicolas was such a good baby on the plane and he just slept the whole way there. He cried during take off on the way back home but not for too long and he fell right to sleep after a bit.

It was so much fun to see Nicolas touch sand for the first time...he was very confused. He slept a lot on the beach and Enrique and I decided that the real ocean is such a better sound machine than the one we have in his nursery! Nicolas had a great time playing on the beach everyday and it was so nice to relax as a family.

I must say....Nicolas was by far the most stylish 8 month old on the beach! Sadly, our vacation had to end and we had to come back to the real world but it was nice to know that travelling with a baby is not hard and we now have inspiration to start planning more trips!

We took over 200 pictures on our trip so it was very hard for me to pick some for the blog....with that being said here are quite a few pics from the trip!
