Corpus Christ Beach Trip
We vactioned to Corpus Christi, TX, after my long stint away at training. The days at the beach were lots of fun. The kids went wild for the beach, though Lena's tougher than Joseph when braving the waves.
In contrast, the novelty of staying in a hotel room made the evenings pretty terrible--Lena pooped right out, but Joseph ran wild. I pulled a SuperNanny and kept putting him back in his bed, which worked after 40 tries. We thought he was down when we heard "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up" coming from somewhere near the baby's folding crib. That's when I wanted to start spanking, but we made it through without.
After a few more freak-outs, everyone made it to sleep. Around 2am, starting screaming again which turned out to be gas. After some gas medicine and 20 minutes of straight screaming Joseph and I ended up in the van for a few hours so Mommy and Lena could sleep.
We hit the beach again the next morning and everything returned to awesome!
