Well we are on the road heading home from what has been a wonderful vacation. One thing about vacationing with a toddler is that it forces you to relax a little which was way nice. The trip didn't fly by and we had plenty of fun. We basically did the same thing everyday: woke up loaded the car and ate breakfast on the beach followed by a few hours of play time. We were back at the resort for lunch and naps, plus a little reading for mommy and daddy. After nap we wolf play inside, Nathan and Lylah would watch the holders from our balcony while I made dinner, and then after dinner if it wasn't raining we would go to the pool at the resort and if it was raining we would let our lil' lady bounce her brains out at an amazing bouncy house city. The only exceptions to our little routine were the day we went to a wonderful little children's museum and the day it rained ALL day in which we shopped salvage stores :)
To say that Lylah loved the beach would be an extreme understatement!!! It was a love at first site relationship for sure! In fact the first night we arrived we went in street clothes just to show her the ocean and before our little visit was over Lylah was naked because she had soaked through her clothes and diaper from all the splashing!!!! She loved playing in the sand, splashing on the shore, chasing seagulls, and burying her feet in the sand. We also visited a pier and saw lots of ocean wildlife! In all we saw a horseshoe crab, sting rays, crabs, hermit crabs, fish (one very big and a different one that Nathan tried to catch with his hands!), sea gulls, pelicans, and we even thought we saw dolphins way out one morning! Every night I would put her to bed she would say "more ocean tomorrow mommy?". So sweet!!!!
She also learned some golf rules while watching golf from our balcony (our resort was on a golf course). She loved telling the golfers "good job" as they walked to their balls, but she understood to be very quiet once they got there and were ready to hit. Look out Tiger, maybe we have a future golfer on our hands!!
We did enjoy our pool at our resort as well! They had a baby pool that was just shallow enough for Lylah to walk around in. She would move her arms and say she was swimming. She also liked to jump off the edge of the big pool and count for mommy and daddy as we did the same.
The little museum we went to was called the Lynn Meadows Discovery Museum. It was a very small museum and although it made for some crowded exhibits, it was wonderful! The exhibits were right up Lylah's ally with the downstairs being train and harbor (boat and crane) exhibits. Anyway, I'm a major fan of children's museums and this one did not disappoint especially with the $18 for all of us price!!! AWESOME!!!
Here are a few pictures from our fun. Of course a BIG thank you goes out to my mother in law who let us have her time share. The cost she donated to our adoption!! We love you Nana!!!
