One day at a time: Roberts Rock Family Vacay 2012

Roberts Rock Family Vacay 2012

Since Chris and I got married we have managed to have an annual family vacation with his side of the family. Last year we took a family cruise...that was fun! This year we settled with a more laid back chill vacation. Chris' older sister lives up in Maine so we got to enjoy a vacation in her hometown. They got to enjoy a nice stay-cation! It was win win for everyone.

Our vacation began with a weekend in Boston. We had a blast there exploring the area. I don't think I could ever really live somewhere that you use public transportation so much....especially with a baby! However, I will say Miss H loved the city life....never getting in her carseat buckled for the car, instead just riding in the stroller. We however did TONS of walking. We even took a very nice little walking tour of Boston. There was a lot for us all to learn or understand better....Miss H, she well slept! Some Boston pics

Miss H got a little goodie in her pack n play at our hotel...so sweet.

Family pic to prove I was there after dinner on the cute bridge

After our stay in Boston we loaded up the rental (yes all 7 of us and a stroller) and headed out for a mini road trip. The drive was beautiful. We drove over many cool bridges and the area is so green! It is very different than our dead looking Texas landscape. Oh and did I mention Miss H got to cross 3 state lines on this road trip!

Once we got to Maine we stayed in this very nice lake house. The place was wonderful and fit everyone so well. We pretty much did NOTHING the whole time we were there. It was wonderful and relaxing. The ~~kids~~ okay we all enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and boating the whole week. I don't know how every year our vacations get better and better but they do.

This was Miss H's first time to meet her Maine cousins and uncle. I am pretty sure she loves them to death. Actually I am pretty sure she is sad to be back home with just mom and dad. I mean always having someone (Nanna, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle or cousin) to carry her or play with her. She was in HEAVEN! I know she is missing them like crazy now.

We also got to enjoy the small town life of Bridgton and Naples. We went to a little carnival one night and dinner out a couple of others. All in all this vacation was perfect! There are tons of crazy memories that we can all enjoy for forever.... Now are you ready for the PICTURES...I only took 580, ha!

All loaded up and ready to ROLL!

While waiting for dinner the girls went outside and well began their own fun. They became walkers (also know as zombies to most)....they had a blast playing around! It was hilarious to see them out the window playing around.
