Our Beach Trip

Picture on the plane beginning our big adventure!



Our trip to Wrightsville Beach:





We took Harris on his first plane ride and first trip to the beach. This was his second time to see Eric's parents "Memaw and Papaw". I was soo stressed about this trip - primarily for the travel! We woke up at 4am almost missed our flight b/c little Austin airport for some reason was crowded as if it were Christmas! They were closing the gate in 2 minutes if we hadn't made it. We had a layover in DC and then flew to Raleigh and you were awake the whole time! I think we read the plane instructions on every flight - you loved the pictures of the planes - I think pre baby I had never looked at those once! Then we had a 2 hour car drive to the beach (all with a VERY busy toddler!)- can you say STRESS! But we made it and you did soo great and finally slept in the car.

Once we were there we had a fun time. You didn't know what to think about the beach the first day. It was cold too! We had you dressed in long sleeves for the 72 and windy weather. We hung out at the beach and played in the condo. The second day at the beach you had a lot of fun! We met a family from Arizona and once you saw some other boys playing you joined right in. They had some great beach toys that you loved.








This was not at the beach, just a funny pic. You stole the syrup from the fridge and ran away to sip on it. You love syrup! You eat waffles or french toast almost every morning. When we are tired and in a hurry you get oatmeal.

Memaw and you having a good time diggin in the sand.






First day: dressed warmly and somewhat not so sure of the beach. You liked the playscape at the condo the best on the first day. We stuck your toes in the water and you were not so excited about that!

Memaw, Papaw and you! They were excited to see you. They had not seen you since you were 8 weeks old.












Baby and Mama. I was cold!

Digging some more.

Second day!

Daddy attempting to build a sandcastle that you thought was soo funny to tear down!

You got in the water!

We had a fun trip! Next time we will go in August! Us Texans like it to be warm when we are at the beach. The water was too cold, even for daddy. I think we ventured out to maybe waist deep and just for a second! The flights home went pretty well. The last flight was the hardest with you. Daddy had to walk you and the nice older man next to us was very entertaining to you - he helped a lot!
