Last week, we took our first vacation as a family of 3 to Bethany Beach. We rented a house in South Bethany where we spent the week with friends and family.
I have to say that vacations certainly are different when children are in the mix. For starters, our truck was packed to the ceiling with stuff. In the days where it was just the 2 of us, Joe and I would each have one bag and off we would go. We are now toting, our 1 bag each as well as a pack n play, toys, books, blankie, and anything else that can help recreate home to make time away easier for our little one.
We learned very quickly that we cannot just drag our daughter all over the place to shopping, restaurants, long days on the beach and all the other vacation festivities and ignore nap schedules and all schedule that she is used to. We spent most nights waking with our little girl every hour as she would wake up crying from an unfamiliar environment and just being overtired in general.
While the vacation was not easy or relaxing, it was still nice to get away and of course get some great pictures of our cute little baby decked out in her beach gear.
We're on our way!
Our dog Teddy came with us. As you can see, we hit some traffic at the Bay Bridge:
Uncle Tom and Aunt Lisa brought a pool for the girls to play in. Emma and her cousin Elle loved it:

I'm sorry to hear Emma had a hard time adjusting. She looks so cute in the hat and glasses pic.
Adorable!
Where do you live? I guess I didn't realize you were in CA?
