A weekend getaway

This past weekend we packed up and headed to Palm Coast for a beach weekend getaway.

We stayed at Hammock Beach Resort which had everything you could ever want - beach, pool, golf and food.  It wasn't just one pool - more like 5 pools - one with a 3 story windy slide and one with a sand entrance and even a lazy river - a great place for 2 boys.

Enjoying the big slide.




Enjoying the pools.  Brody loved to jump through the water fall.  He was such a big boy.  Trevor wanted to jump just like his big brother but he thought twice once he got up there.






While daddy played golf one afternoon, we headed to the sand pool.  They thought it was pretty cool to have sand next to the pool.


We spent a lot of time near the lazy river.  Both boys loved going around and around - Trevor mostly spent his time jumping off the side into the lazy river.






Of course we always had to have snacks and leave it to Trevor to find them and ALWAYS want some.

This was the new thing for him to do and of course Trevor wanted to try.



While Jason played golf, I let the boys play in the big open area and we were Jason's cheering section as he approached the 18th.





Of course we headed out to the beach a couple of times as well.  The resort had chairs & umbrellas so no need to drag ours at which was a relief.



We had a wonderful weekend besides the fact that both boys were feeling under the weather.  Brody fought a fever all three days, but thankful for Advil.  Trevor woke up Sunday morning with croup.  That is the scariest thing ever.  He had shown no signs of being sick but woke up coughing a little bit and then all of sudden was having difficulty breathing.  Thank goodness for Carither's "What to do before you call the doctor" because it said to open the freezer and let him breathe the cold air in and then take him to a hot steamed up bathroom.  Thankfully this worked and he seemed ok for the rest of the day.  However, we decided to come on home that morning instead of playing in the pool.  The boys slept all the way home.

This could definitely be a place we visit again.
