Right down the road from the house is a beach called Stonewall. It was the babys first time at the ocean and he loved it! It did not surprise me though because he loves the bath. My husband would carry him towards the water and then bring him in a bit and put him on the sand, Cam would turn right around and crawl back out. He had us running all around the beach for over an hour. He slept awesome that night!
One thing you look forward to when you travel to a place like this is the food. I am not much of a seafood lover, but my husband sure is. There is a place that he goes to whenever we are up called Menempsha Fish Market. The owner is long time friends with the family and usually gives real good deals whenever we stop in. The hubs and my father in law came home with a huge bag full of oysters, a large piece of Striper, Cherry Stones, Lobster and other yummies. The photo above is one of my husbands creations. Ill share the make up below. Its a fish wrap...and if I ate fish...I would definitely try that!
My kid napped really well while we were out there. I was kind of nervous because he was not in his own crib, rather the pack and play we brought. Both days he napped no less than two hours each day. The last day he even slept over three! I am sure part of this has to do with the fact he is finally popping his first teeth. (only took 11.5 months haha) I took advantage of that nap time and sat outside on the deck with my mother in law catching some beautiful sun! I never ever take pictures of my self (I am not a selfie person) but I thought I would share how relaxed I was at that particular time. Tannin those legs!
My mother in law is pretty good at making mixed drinks too. Ever since I became pregnant my taste for alcohol has diminished. Obviously I did not drink while pregnant and breastfeeding...but even after I just haven't really wanted a drink. Perhaps it was because of where we were, or how relaxed I was, I don't know...but I let her talk me into one of her Bloody Marys...and it was dee-lish!
The only sad thing about this weekend, was that for the first time in years we did not see any fireworks. Not until we were in the car on the ride home and we drove through town as they were lighting them off. I suppose we would have stayed if we did not have the baby with us. Last year when we went it was so awesome, because I was pregnant and when it was time for the finale, the baby was kicking me like crazy in the belly. Sometime I miss that.
That is how we spent our holiday weekend! What a perfect three days. Now back to reality...grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. Enjoy your day!!
