Since Charley has proven herself to be the absolute best baby ever, we decided to push our limits and attempt to take her on a 6 hour road trip to the beach at 10 weeks. So we hopped in the car at about 6:00 on a Thursday night and headed to Pawleys Island to see our friends Erik and Lindsey who recently moved there in May. We had soooo much fun introducing Charley to all the new sights and sounds of the beach. Although she HATED the water, I think she really seemed to enjoy everything else. We will definitley be going back soon! See all the pics below and enjoy!
We slept in late on Friday morning and went and found a good place that served breakfast all day. This is what we found and it was so Yummy!!
Right inside the restaurant, they had this sign that read "where are you yolks from?". There was a push pin to represent all of the places where people had come from to eat at Eggs up Grill.
Since Covington was clearly covered in representation, we thought that Hawkinsville needed some attention. If you look closely, you can see the green pin in the middle on Hawkinsville.
The first patron from Hawkinsville! Yes, I am fairly certain that our own child thinks we are pretty cheesy!
Erik getting to hold Charley for the first time since he came to visit her in the hospital when she was born. She has grown quite a bit since the last time she has seen him.
Friday afternoon, our first venture out on the beach. We just went to take a little walk this time, no bathing suits until tomorrow.
Charley's first time getting her little toes wet in the water....she was not too sure about this.
She was just as content with us pushing her around in the stroller down the beach...who wouldn't love that?!
And she's out! We dug her a little sand cradle and put a towel in it and she slept there for quite a while in the breeze.
Saturday morning, Daddy and Charley sleeping in the couch so mommy could actually get some much needed rest in the bed. Are they cute or what???
Beach day! We took her tent and tucked her in a little corner and let the breeze flow through the tent and she and Rocky were as content as they could be.
Brother and Sister! :)
We decided that since we took the time to put her bathing suit on, we might as well give her a quick dip in the water just for the record.
And the verdict: She HATED it!!!! I think the water was just a little too cool for her...maybe next summer.
"Daddy, I am so mad at you for putting me in that water, I am not even going to look at you!"
After church on Sunday, we went back down to the beach to actually try and get some pictures. The wind was blowing soooo hard that day, and Charley was not very happy, so this is what we got. Again, maybe next summer. Sorry this one is sideways, I couldn't figure out how to move it.
Family! :)
Sweet Daddy!
On the way home, we read some books (Goodnight moon is her favorite!)
After reading books, this is what she did for the rest of the ride. Again, she is the best baby in the world! She handled the 6 hour car ride better than mommy did!
