1st Trip to the Beach

For Daddy's birthday, we decided to take a little trip to the beach and to visit my best friend Brandi and her family. We had a great trip. It was Sadie's 1st overnight trip somewhere. Packing was a lot easier with the second baby because we knew the necessities : ). It also helped that I am breastfeeding this time instead of pumping and we did not have to worry about warming up milk and bottles all of the time.

We stayed near Broadway at the Beach because we knew we wanted to spend most of the day there before going to visit the Todds. The weather was great. It was a little windy at first, but was perfect after we ate.

Lucas had a great time with this bench.

Every store we went in, Lucas had to try on the sunglasses.

Sadie was soo good. You are such a relaxed and good baby. You were snuggled in the stroller and was warm. Never made a peep.

We stopped and played on the playground and it was definitely a hit. We went to this same playground last you and Lucas needed our help to do everything. This year, he was a big boy running everywhere by himself. : (.

That night we visited Brandi, Von, Elliott, and McCrea. We had the best time and love getting together with them! We cannot wait to plan another trip with them.

The next day, we went to Ripley's Aquarium at Broadway. We had a great time. Lucas loved exploring everything and loved the jellyfish!

You were also really excited to "touch" a stingway (even though we really did not let you do that just yet...)

Your favorite! The jellyfish!

They had a little playground at the end, so of course we let you play on it. You loved it!

I would have to say that our first trip was a success. I can't wait for many, many more as a family of 4!!
