Beach Baby, Beach Baby...

We hit the beach last weekend for the first time this year. We went to a friend's wedding at Atlantic Beach and had a great time!! We stayed with our good friends Lauren and Bryan at their beach house. The weather could not have been more perfect despite the threat of thunderstorms. I'm glad we tempted fate and challenged the WRAL weather team.

This was our first time out of town with the baby. We couldn't have asked for her to be any better. We packed up the car Friday morning with everything we/she owns. We didn't want to take the chance that the one thing she needed would be the one thing we left at home. We realized at that point, we need a much bigger car. Harper slept in her pack'n'play both nights and was perfect. We have only used it for the occasional nap at the house, so we were admittedly a little nervous. She is a good sleeper and for that we are very thankful. We took Harper out on the beach Saturday morning. We didn't spend very much time out there because it was getting pretty warm, but she seemed to really enjoy just kicking around on the towel in the warm breeze. She was by far the best looking girl on the beach, and I think even Adam would admit that. This short 3 day vacation went so well, it has given us the confidence to plan more out-of -town trips with the baby. Maybe next time we will tackle the friendly skies.
