Beach Baby

On Saturday, we left Georgia and headed down to Anna Maria island in the Gulf for a week of relaxing and fun in the sun. This was Abby's first trip to the beach, and besides teething and dealing with a stuffy nose, she's really excited to be here!


Abby in her swim suit right before she saw the ocean for the first time:


Sooooo excited about the ocean! Lets gooooooo already!


Wait!! You want me to put my FEET in the wet stuff?! I'd rather pick them up...


I'm still not so sure about this. Why does the water keep trying to get me?!


Sunset on the beach. We're staying in a condo unit owned by Matt's company and rented out to employees year-round. We even have our own private beach and housekeeping every day - I feel spoiled :)


The beach outside of our condo on the north side of the island has very few tourists, except for the birds and lizards. The tiny lizards are EVERYWHERE and are a little camera-shy (read: too fast for Matt to capture on film)

Taking an 8 month old to the beach has been a VERY different experience than vacations in the past, but we've had a good time showing her island life. Abby has enjoyed the heated pool much more than the ocean - but that's a post for another naptime. Now it's time to suit up and head outside into the sunset.
