Last summer, Mama and I discovered Amelia Island, FL. It is one of those little beaches where I would LOVE to retire. They have the cutest downtown, good food, and pretty beaches. It is more of a quiet beach than PCB or Daytona. We went for the day last year but we went Monday and stayed for the night.
Monday the weather was perfect. It was hot, but breezy, so it was tolerable.
Napping on the beach Monday afternoon
Norah Kate loved the beach and the tide pools. The tide pools were perfect for her because I could sit in them and hold her up. She could stand in the water and not have to worry about waves knocking into us.
We looked like we were going for a week the way we packed, but I learned that's how all trips are with a baby. Umbrellas, beach chairs, pack and play, stroller, cooler, over night bags, towels, snacks....
She smiled like this to almost everyone that walked by her while we were downtown. She already loves being the center of attention!
Tuesday was a different story. It was crazy hot! The beach was starting to get crowded too, and there was NO breeze! I don't think I have ever been to the beach and there be no breeze. Even under the umbrella was miserable hot. The only way to be comfortable was to be submerged in the water. It was way too hot for Norah Kate. She was pretty ill and we were constantly taking her down to the water to cool off. We stayed out for about an hour and then packed up and headed home. She was so wore out she slept the whole way home (over a 3 hour drive!).
Next year I will be chasing her down the beach! :)
