Yep, that pretty much sums up the travel portion of our vacation. No, seriously, the trip there was pretty damn flawless. No delays, no major issues...although we did almost miss our flight thanks to ZERO boarding calls. We finally asked the desk 30 minutes before the departure when they were going to board and they said, we already have...we're getting ready to leave. We were like, WHAT?!?!
But the kiddo slept the whole flight AND we had an extra seat, so I was able to lay him down for the second half. That freed me up to get a drink, let some blood flow to my tush and relax.
Our first stop after the drive to the shore was to take little man to the beach. It's New Jersey beach so the sand is soft (no crunched up shells here) and the water was a tid bit nipply for our Florida blood. I'll let you go ahead and guess if that stopped a certain toddler with an affinity for all things involving water.
Joe's nephew Damian is an incredible piano player and he's 7! So, the grandparents have this old keyboard at their house for whenever he comes over, and Nash noticed it right away. After we disabled the volume slider (how does he find the worst buttons to push??), we let him bang away to his hearts content. I think he's got good form...
The majority of our time in Brigantine was spent hanging in the yard, playing with Grandmom and Grandpop (Joe's parents) and, of course, more beach time.
Many evenings were spent in the yard burning off toddler energy.
On Saturday, all the family came down to the shore to visit. We needed to celebrate Damian and Nico's birthdays, which are both right around the same time. Cupcakes were eaten, margaritas were
Stayed tuned for more vacation posts, including Nash's first rides, a Phillies game complete with REAL cheesesteaks and getting back to nature in New Hampshire!
