We woke up this morning, had our breakfast buffet (Isaac had french toast, strawberries and bananas), and headed into town to go into the shops that we scoped out yesterday. First, I got a mocha at a coffee house - very yummy. Then, we went to the park by the bay to sit and explore while I juiced myself up with caffiene. We headed back to town where I bought a new bathing suit - ok, but breakfast is FREE. We went back to the hotel and we both took a nice nap until about 1:00. We ate yesterday's leftovers and headed to the beach! It was so full!! We had to park a good distance away and I refused to make more than one trip - I know...stubborn. I had Isaac in the front carrier, our cooler lunchbox, my everything bag, a beach umbrella, Isaac's Pack 'n Play, and a large blanket. I looked like a pack mule, but I did it in one trip!! We found our spot and I must say that I was pretty efficient setting up and the end result was very nice - and worth it! Isaac was much braver today. He tested out the sand, but decided it wasn't so bad and took off crawling everywhere! He was so cute. He wanted to play with these kids near us who were building a sand castle. They looked concerned until I told them that I would not let him get too close. We had a picnic lunch, which Isaac had climbed on, so the bread was a little flat, but good. Then we just enjoyed each other - so special.
We stayed for about 3 hours, which is a good amount of time for a 10 month old. I packed everything back to the car - in one trip - and we went back to the hotel. I found the entire beach in Isaac's diaper and ears. We hosed off and felt much better.
I knew if we stayed in, he would sleep then (6:00) and not that night, so we went for a walk to get ice cream...homemade strawberry ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream. Isaac did fall asleep in his stroller on the way, but I woke him up for ice cream, which I knew he would've wanted me to do.
He stayed awake the way home, we said goodnight to the ponies at our hotel, and went in for the night.
He was still very awake, so he climbed on everything in the room. It was all over when I gave him a bottle...and now he's out. I will be too soon enough. We go home tomorrow. Bitter-sweet, but we're ready to see daddy.

Looks like a great place - pencil me in for next year!!!!!! Seeing your pics reminds me so much of Domonick's first trip to the beach - he was a bit older than Isaac (18mths) but so much fun!! I distinctly remember still digging sand out of the fat rolls when we got home to the tub!! :)
Drive home safely-
Blessings
