Beach Baby!!

The title is actually a little deceiving, it should read "Pool Baby" since we only ventured to the pool and never made it to the beach.  An 11 week old and the beach aren't the best combination and we knew that before we went, so we weren't too disappointed when we weren't basking on the beach from 10-2 everday. 

Jason has a VERY busy July coming up at work and there is little chance of us going anywhere fun for a while.  We love to travel and haven't been anywhere (othen than AL) since this past fall due to pregnancy, so we've been DYING to get out of town for a little R&R.  My parents offered to help us the 1st time we headed to the beach to allow us some alone time, but it didn't work out b/c they had a cruise planned the only weekend we could go, so we made the venture by ourselves, but it worked out great.

Patton was a little trooper!!  Although we saw the beach, we never actually took him on the beach. We will save that for our next trip. We opted for late afternoons by the pool (under the shade) and early morning strolls around SanDestin and Baytowne. We did a little outlet shopping one day and explored the shops at Seaside another day.  We made the most of our trip with an 11 week old and found plenty things to do other than the beach.  I love the atmosphere of being at the beach,  but I'm more of a pool person anyway. 

It was great little getaway and our first vacation as a family of three :)  We can't wait to go back in September....cooler weather, less crowds and hopefully Patton will be able to enjoy it a little more.
