Last Day of Our Beach Vacation

The Last day of our family vacation came on Friday. We took the girls to a local Fun Park called The Track. We had passed it several times that week and had promised we would go before we left town. Kaylee could not wait to drive the go-carts and Campbell just wanted to ride the Merry-go-Round. We do not have a picture of us riding the Go-carts because Kaylee was not tall enough to drive on the bigger tracks by herself and she would not even attempt the smaller ones because she thought they looked too little. So we made go-cart racing a family affair and all joined in on the fun. After a little putt-putt, riding the swings, driving on two different tracks, and having a great time we decided to go on to the next stop for the day.We went back to our favorite place The Hangout to eat lunch there one more time and enjoy the view of the ocean. Something we definitely do not have anywhere near us in Abilene.

Papa and Nana sent the girls some money for souvenirs so we hit a few of the local shops to find the perfect treasures. Kaylee got a water globe, a small bottle of sand and shells, a shell bracelet, and a mood ring. Campbell quickly found 4 rings, a shell bracelet, water globe, and a bottle of sand and shells. I walked out with a Christmas ornament for our tree which I try to remember to do each time we go somewhere new. It was a very successful shopping trip.




After all of that we returned to the condo to take in the amazing view one more time and get our bags packed a partially loaded in the car. By that evening we were all ready to get home so we made the 16+ hour trip all on Saturday. The girls did great in the car and I had saved a few surprises for them so that helped. It was so nice to sleep in our own beds that night and wake up the next morning in our home. I am definitely ready to be at home for a little while. We all decided to try a family vacation in a cooler place next time, like Colorado.
