Emerald Isle Spring 2016 -- Part I

Oh, Emerald Isle...

I love this place. And this time I got to experience it with my sweet babe in tow. He went with us for the August trip last year, but he was only 5 weeks old and mostly slept, so he didn't get to really experience the beach. 




This time he got to go down to the beach twice for about 10 minutes each time. It's a lot of work to get a squirmy, crawling baby beach-ready (sunscreen, fresh diaper, swimsuit, shoes, hat, blanket, sunglasses -- that will be promptly removed -- and a bag with snacks, bottle, sippy cup, more snacks) for only about 10 minutes of enjoyment (read: trying to keep him from eating sand). But I'm glad he got to experience the beach!


This doesn't even show everything... It's no joke packing for/traveling with a baby.


And going to EI in the spring is always nice because the beach is completely empty. 





My roommate (that cute Bear), woke up every morning right around 6:30 am, so we got lots of good morning time out on the deck before the rest of the house woke up. Bottle and breakfast on the deck with an early-morning view of the ocean? Sounds good to me!







And baby swimsuits! I just love these tiny swim trunks. He got all decked out in his beach gear for a short trip down to the actual beach. 















We also had some rainy days, so we hung out inside on those days.
