Well we survived our first beach vacation! I discovered that my relaxing beach vacations will never be the same...they will be even better! Simon loved the beach and the excitement of the boardwalk!
Chris, Simon and I drove down to Ocean City, NJ on a Saturday and stayed through Monday when Chris left to come back home. Meanwhile my mom and my sister (and her 3 munchkins) came down for the rest of the week with Simon and I. The place we stayed was new to us and it worked out pretty well. The place had about 6 steps which Simon mastered the art of "going down" and now can climb up and down our stairs at home with no problem.
The weather was beautiful. We had one day of rain which was fine with me. I needed a break from the (icky) sand and sun for a day! It was quite the workout to get Simon, myself and all of our stuff out to the beach. I can only imagine what people thought as I got a running start from the boardwalk to the beach in order to push a stroller with a baby, 3 bags hanging off the stroller, an umbrella and a chair strapped to my back! It was quite the calf workout in the sand :)
Simon loved being around all of the people at the beach and the energy there. He made a lot of new friends and enjoyed getting to know the water! The seagulls were fascinating in addition to all of the noises of the rides and laughter on the boardwalk. He got to experience some of my favorites of Ocean City - Browns doughnuts, Mack and Manco's pizza and Hobby Horse ice cream! Can't wait to do it all over again!
