Grace's Vacation Part 1!!

Grace is so excited!!  I told her that for my birthday, we were going on a little vacation to Cape Cod Massachusetts, and on the way, we would be stopping at American Girl store!! This is her first vacation, and her first time to the beach!  Grace couldn't wait to pack, and see what adventures were in store!!

The day before our trip, Grace started working on her packing.  "Hmmm...Let's see.  Bathing suit, beach ball, sunglasses, sunscreen, extra bows, my towel...am I forgetting anything??"

Finally, the big day had arrived!  Grace and I got up early.  Soon it was time to load the car.  Grace hurried out with all her suitcases, (I'm not so sure she packed lightly!)

"Ooh!! I'm so excited!!" exclaimed Grace "Hurry mini Grace!!"

"Phew!" panted mini Grace "I'm coming Grace!  But can I get a little help??"

 

After a long car ride, we reached American Girl!!  Grace was excited to do some shopping!  She stopped to try out the new sailboard.  "This looks like fun!" She exclaimed  "Can I get one to use on the ocean??"  (I reminded her that she didn't really know how to use one!) 

Next, we went upstairs where Grace got her ears pierced!! Grace was a little nervous at first, but I told her it would be very quick.  When she was all done, Grace had beautiful new earrings!!  "I love them!!" she exclaimed happily

 

Grace loved showing off her new earrings!  Ooh la la Grace!!

Grace loved stopping in her patisserie!!  

Next, Grace went over to say Bonjour to Caroline at her treat table. "These look yummy Caroline!!  May I try one?" (All the traveling had made Grace a little hungry!)

And speaking of traveling, Grace had to check out Julie's car! "Hi Grace!"  said Julie "Do you want to go for a ride?"

"Ooh yes!" excalimed Grace (I think Grace really likes road trips!)

Then it was time to do a little shopping.  Grace helped me pick out a new outfit for Kaya. "Bonjour Kaya!  You red dress is magnefique!!  I think our Kaya will love it!"

Grace picked out the new flamingo dress for herself. "I love this!!" she exclaimed "I just need to find a matching bow to wear with it!" 

Grace saw this birthday girl and went over to play with the balloon.  "Joyeux Anniversaire Mary!!"  Awww, Merci Grace!!

Soon it was time to leave American Girl and continue on our journey.  "Au revoir American Girl!"  Grace had a lot of fun shopping!

After a few more hours in the car, we had made it!!  "Cape Cod!!" exclaimed Grace.  we unpacked the car, and walked along the deck to our room.  Grace thought the ocean looked breathtaking!!  (And very big!)

Once we found our room, Grace carried her suitcases inside.  "This looks wonderful!!" said Grace

Finally, after a long day, Grace sat back to enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean from our deck.  She couldn't wait to see what the next few days had in store!!
