The Trip Blog that never ends...

Here's the rest of our trip highlights in the order they transpired:

Day one:
Re-cooped from our 2 am arrival and lack of sleep.

Day two:
Beach and pool day (I think I've already posted enough pictures of that)

Day three:
Strawberry picking! One of my favorite things to do when I'm home...this time was no exception. We went to Pungo, and the picking party got a little carried away. After "time's up" there were 47 POUNDS of strawberries! Yikes. Sydney did little to contribute to the effort. After she picked about 3 strawberries, she suspected it was too much like work and decided to hang out in the car with Grandma and sleeping Nash. Uncle Jon helped Trace and it was a fun time. The not so fun part: washing the berries.

Day Four:
Ray and Jen's crew arrived late on Friday. So, we took the entire circus to the zoo. We packed EVERYone into Weezie's mini, and Ray Ray drove. Then the stinky animal fun began! Trace & Syd's favorite part? "Feeding" the animals. Aunt Jen held her hand out, Trace & Syd put their food in her hand, and the animals feasted! Thanks for wiping out animal hunger guys!


Day Five:
Church and naps...no noteworthy pictures are available because we were too rushed to get there on time. I must say, it's probably a first for the Jackson clan (being on time that is).

Day Six:
The Great Wolf Lodge. If anyone is looking for a great place to take the family, this is it! It has an indoor water park and pools outside. Trace had a blast riding all the water slides with his dad, and Sydney enjoyed the shallow pools. She wouldn't even think about going on a slide after her first and last incident left her with wet hair!
We didn't get any pics inside the park, but here's some of the family "howling" as we were leaving the Great Lodge.

Day Seven:
Busch Gardens. The highlight of the day, once again, was Trace's first roller coaster ride. I am one proud momma! Here are some more shots...
