First Time Vacation with Baby

I have so much catching up to do with my homework and stuff, but I wanted to come on an blog about my vacation experience with Frankie. 

He did very well.  He slept a lot of the way, but then woke up once we got to our "pee-pee break destination". 

He didn't get car sick at all or anything.  I had a lot of stuff to keep him happy and entertained. 
Yes, we took a lot of stuff with us.  I rode in the back seat with him so I had toys on snack on command.  Our trip was about 4 hours long.  and though we stopped frequently, all that stopping made him tired and cranky. Not to mention that it was super hot! One of the towns we drove through was 100 degrees.

When we stopped, I made sure I took him out of the car seat and streched my legs and his. I changed his diaper and fed him and took him away from the car so we we wouldn't get bored.  I also changed his clothes because he was wearing pants, and then it got real hot, REAL quick.  I tried to keep him as cool and comfortable as possible.

Once we reached this point, I was ready to jump in the ocean, but we still had another 45 minutes left to get to the resort. Frankie did get fussy towards the end but I kept him happy with water, Yo Gabba Gabba songs and of course rattles. 
Once we got there, we got settle into our room, he ate and then we went swimming while his grandma watched him.  He fell asleep in the stroller on the way back to our room and took a snooze. 

After his snooze, he woke up and I put him in his chair while I made a snack for myself.  Then we hung out, played and put him to sleep.

The next morning, we woke up to this view:

The Ocean off in the distance and a view of the desert infront of us.

This resort is fairly new and is still under construction.

Sunblock is always our friend

You can see the pool in the distance!  I love his hat!

Getting ready to go to the beach! He's wearing a "wet suit" type of shirt to block him from the sun and I put him in the carrier so I could have free hands to carry beach towels.

Another Ocean Shot.

Thats me in Puerto Penasco

Frankie was mad!

His Auntie Monica bought him another hat. This one has Woody from Toy Story on it.
Our First vacation was awesome.  My favorite part was when Frankie saw the ocean for the first time. His eyes got all big . He shreked when the water touched his feet and he loved it. What can I say, he's charged by the ocean and sea.  Some people like mountain, others like grass, I love the sea.   I always have and always will and I think Frankie will too.
