We decided that we needed a trip to the beach to take advantage of the long holiday weekend and to get our minds off the waiting for I-600 approval. We usually go for the week of the 4th of July, but since our travel plans are unknown right now, we just couldn't wait! Our favorite place in the world is Seagrove Beach/Seaside, Florida. We were married on the beach in Seagrove nearly 7 years ago, so it holds a very special place in our hearts!
We made that decision on Sunday, and we left on Friday, so the week was a whirlwind of getting ready. And Austin had swimming lessons with his best bud, Jay, every day (went great - yay!).
The beach trip was definitely a great idea. We wanted to spend some time just with Austin, since his whole world is about to change. We played on the beach, built sandcastles, did "wave-jumping", played in the surf, and swam in the pool at the condo (Austin's favorite!). We also rented bikes since we forgot to bring ours (duh!), and rode to Seaside each morning for breakfast. It is a beautiful place, and I'm so glad we went. We were supposed to come home Monday, but we were having such a great time, we decided to stay another night! It was a wonderful family time, but of course it's always great to be back home.
STILL NO WORD on I-600 approval, and now it's getting tough. We have thought we would travel in June all along, and now that June is - - - oh - - - - 2 days away, I'm getting very anxious. Hopefully we will hear something in the next week or two, and will still travel in June.
Kai is 7 months old today, and I just can't stand not to have her in my arms.....
P.S. Here are some pictures from our beach trip. Will post pics of the nursery next; we're almost finished with it!!
