I was initially nervous about Lissie's first plane ride, especially since it fell so close to her bedtime. Yet, everything went super smoothly throughout the duration of the one-hour flight. She took it like a pro and only got fussy during landing, but it wasn't anything that a few bites of dried apples couldn't cure! (The trip home was a little more stressful, but thankfully it's a quick flight, and there were other fussier babies around us!) My folks picked us up from the airport, and we were en route to our beachside suite for the weekend!
Friday marked Lissie's first beach experience. We've been told that babies either love or hate the sand and the water, and I was pretty positive that Lissie would fall in the "love" category, especially since she loves her weekly swimming lessons. Mama's instincts proved right, and after an initial hesitation, Lissie proved that she is, indeed, a water baby. We spent the morning enjoying the sand and the beach, and after lunch and a nap (both for Lissie and me!), we headed to the kiddie pool to show Lolo and Lola her swimming skills. Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely seafood dinner at a beachfront marina. After putting the baby to bed, Justin and I enjoyed some quality time at the resort's bar. It was only a slight bummer that I wasn't able to imbibe in a nice summery cocktail!
The rest of the weekend was cloudy or rainy, but that didn't stop us from enjoying some fun at the pool again. We had a great time simply relaxing and de-stressing, relishing the memories we were making as a family. We laughed a lot, ate a lot, and overall just had a fun time at the beach.
By the end of the weekend, we even upgraded our own timeshare to ensure that we'll be able to take many more vacations together in the years to come! Hmmm....where should we go next???
