To celebrate our 2 year anniversary, Father's Day, and Bard finishing his financial test, we decided to go to the beach for the weekend. We weren't sure exactly how much of a vacation it would be with a two month old baby, but we figured we would give it a shot! I'm so glad we did because it was a wonderful time-check out the last album for pictures! We went to Ocean Shores and stayed at the Judith Ann Inn which was just perfect. It had a kitchen so we could cook some of our own meals, and a private jacuzzi in the frontroom that looked out on to the ocean. The weather was good, although too windy for Evy to be outside for long, which is why you see me in the trunk of the car! She did wonderfully, slept the whole drive there and back (we would have never done it if she was still doing her whole scream in the carseat thing!) She played really well by herself and did great when we went out to eat at a restaurant too. We had dinner in our room once and went to an irish pub the other night. Cooking some of our own meals was very convenient because we didn't have to worry about disturbing Evelyn's schedule or finding a place that was okay for babies. But going out also went well, I had my typical fish and chips, which I get whenever I go to a pub-it just seems right! And Evy sat and played in her carseat the whole time we ate. It was so relaxing to not have to worry about getting anything done or be on a schedule. We slept in, read, lounged around, walked on the beach and just had an all around enjoyable time. Bard got to go surfing on Saturday and Sunday, which was great because I've never seen him surf and on Sunday he got up quite a few times so that was fun. Although I have to admit to the irrational fear that he is going to fall off and get hit in the head with his board. He assures me that this is practically impossible but that doesn't seem to matter. So at first watching him was stressful, but then I got used to it and felt much better. We bought saltwater taffy (a must have at the beach) and walked around looking in the little shops. We bought Evelyn a little book of fairy tales, continuing our tradition that we started before even getting pregnant of buying a children's book every time we go someplace. At the surf shop we met the owner who is actually from Huntington Beach-where Bard grew up surfing! It was really a great weekend.

Baby at Beach
