New Year's at The Beach

We decided to go to the beach for New Year's Eve and Day. It was a fun trip and kind of a work trip. We just completed renovations and needed to go down and meet with the contractor at that point to set things in motion. So, for New Year's Eve, we went to Pier Park which has outdoor shopping and restaurants and at 8pm were going to drop over 10,000 beach balls! The kids were excited but I think Justin knew what he was going to have to do...sprint to find three beach balls once they were released!

It was also much chillier than we anticipated so we huddled together waiting for the countdown and then after Justin secured three beach balls, we headed back to get to bed!
The next day, however, warmed up quickly and with one of the pools being heated, the kids begged me to go swimming. And, swimming they went!

And that is how we rang in the New Year of 2015!!! I am headed to the beach with Mom and Blaire this weekend and my plan is to try and catch up on the blog so hopefully that will really happen.
