Summer Vacation 2009

We started the trip off with a stop to have lunch with Bampa, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Ryan, Mary Fran, Knox, & Leo. Quinn had a blast (she has a special liking for Mary Fran), and the 3 of us were so happy to have some time with the Kids, Bampa, & Kelly.

Next we stopped for a visit at Nana Kat's. It was so nice to see her & Quinn had a blast. She just adored the puppy dogs, laughed & laughed whenever they were in the room. We did not bring out one toy for the 2 days we were there!

Next we started our second annual McGrath/Verdigets/Driskell vacation. We had two new additions this year-- Quinn & the Verdigets new little one, Blair. Blair is about 3 months younger than Quinn, but aside from sitting up, she seems to be on the same schedule as Quinn. For Quinn, it was love at first sight.... it took Blair a little while to get adjusted to Quinn.

Our house this year was in a great location. We stayed in the Seacrest neighborhood; our house was a couple of blocks from the beach & across the street from a beautiful resort-style pool.

Taking after her mommy, Quinn's "beach hair" came out immediately.

Both girls LOVED the pool, and it really wore them out-- I've never seen Quinn nap so good!

We celebrated Father's Day by heading out to our favorite-- Acme. The oysters were wonderful as usual & we enjoyed a nice walk around the Wharf after.

We continued having a wonderful week, with lots of yummy dinners--

One day the guys golfed and then we had a girls' night at Georges (which continued at home ;)

we had a sitter two nights (thanks to Kimberly for helping us find Ms Mary!)

One night we walked down to the beach & after Felix presented us with this masterpiece

We went to Caliza one night

The rest of the vacation was just having fun, relaxing, & playing

Tara got the girls matching T-shirts!

The last night we were there, we tried a new Mexican restaurant, here is Quinn all ready, trying to figure out what was on her feet

She decided to have a taste of what was on Shawn's plate-- cute at first, but this will not become a habit!

After dinner we took one last stroll to the beach...

And we are already looking forward to next year!!
