Sean, Bella and I drove to Rosemary Beach, FL on Monday, December 29th for a relaxing mini-vacation by the sea. It was about an 11-hour drive from Houston to Florida, so we were quite nervous as to how Bella would handle it. Thankfully, she is a good traveler like her mommy and daddy -- she fussed for maybe 15 minutes TOTAL out of the whole drive (counting to and from). She was such a dream! Every 3 hours I'd hop in the backseat with her and feed her. We'd change her when we stop for gas and she'd play or sleep in the between time. Of course, she paid us back on our first day in Florida -- she was a fussy girl most of the day on Tuesday, but other than that, she was a fantastic traveler. 
The weather was perfect while we were there -- cool and windy but clear! We strolled amongs the shops, played on the sand and did some shopping. At the end of each day, we returned to our little beach house we rented (so cute!) and rested up for the following day. We were supposed to spend 5 days in FL, but we ended up cutting our trip short by a day and returned home on Thursday instead of Friday. Bella has been sick (she's got a cold with a nasty cough) so we figured it would be best to be in Houston on Friday so we could get her checked out by the doc (she's fine).Although it was a fast trip, we had a great time. It was Bella's first time to see/hear the ocean and feel sand! We had a fun time showing her around and making memories. Here are a few pics from the trip:
