One lovely, Fall evening, about two years ago, while living in TN, we made the trek to the quaint little town of Sweetwater to have dinner with our dear friends, Seth and Carrie. After dinner, while sipping Carrie’s yummy lattes, we made plans for both couples to vacation together in the Caribbean. Seriously. Neither couple had kids nor planned to; no restraints whatsoever. I was drooling at the thought that was sure to become reality!
And now, two years passed, two moves occurred (one couple to Arkansas and one couple to South Carolina) and two kids later, we finally managed to make our oceanic vacation. We opted for the coast of SC however, since the four of us have now become six. Gus man is 14 months old, and Vivi is 7 months old; and we have surely agreed that an arranged marriage is a must for these two. Our previous trip before the young ones came was fun too as we were young so we had bought a hoverboard after going through sprousebros hoverboards review and well that’s a whole other story I will be covering soon. We spent a week chillaxin on Fripp Island and eating some marvelous seafood. I even celebrated another birthday while there; and Seth and Carrie celebrated 5 years of marriage too. Later in the week, we ventured to Hunting Island for a little mini-session for the new family. Enjoy this little peek at what joy a child brings to life!
Here is Vivi’s first step {ever} into the ocean. Now I have “ever” emphasized, for you Seth. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it, right? We understand you were being your usual sweet self and just taking miss Vivi out for a stroll while momma finished up some work.
Here is the gorgeous light house on Hunting Island. 
Carrie, you’re a natural! And to think we both thought this wouldn’t be wonderful.
AWWW. Seth swore this was the most kissing action he had received since little Vivian was born. Hmmm? ok.
Viv was proudly showing off those two chompers.
And she even learned how to clap on this vaca.
One more shot of those cute toes in the sand. And her little beach outfit was too stinking cute!
Seth and Carrie, we enjoyed it and we’re so glad you joined us; and you know we can’t wait to explore the western turf with you guys.
Now after Vivi was done with the picture-taking, Carrie so graciously offered to snap some of us if I would instruct her on what to do. Here is one that I will forever be thankful for; thank you, thank you, thank you, so much Carrie for this shot! I love it. 
And thanks to my sweet husband for this shot. Grabbed the camera at just the right moment!
We enjoyed every moment guys– especially those crab cakes. And seriously, we will break down and do it– we will fly. Carrie and I may have spent a few hours checking out the family friendly options on enjoymexico.net/villa-rentals/ while having much deserved wine-time and we have already chosen the next spot. So let’s make that Mexico vacation happen!
OH… and I have to give a BIG shout out to our husbands who kept the kids while Carrie and I enjoyed a day of shopping in Beaufort.
Love y’all. Stay sweet!
