Our first family adventure
At the beach!

We planned on going to the Tulip Festival today, which is about an hour drive north on a good day. One million other people decided to go too. So after ditching them to have a picnic lunch (the first one of the year - yay!) at a park in Mount Vernon, we decided to get back in line. I think it took 30 minutes to drive 5 blocks. So we ditched them again and went to Camano Island State Park instead. I love tulips, but not that much. The beach was so much more fun! I nursed Simon while we watched clams spit water up in the air - hilarious! It was so nice and relaxing. This was our first adventure with Simon - so we brought a bunch of diapers, spare outfits, and a relaxed "agenda" and it was a success!

Do you like using a baby sling? I'm thinking about getting one.

I love his little hat.

Oooh! Super cute icon!! You should post more about your little one!

I like the sling for nursing and the long tail is also good to cover him up when the sun is out. But if we're going for a longer walk I prefer the mei tai because it distributes his weight on both shoulders and my hips and also because he likes to look around more now and be held up - rather than in a cradle hold.

Thanks - I found the hat at Target on our way out actually.

Crazy! I'm glad you made it! We left the house, ran some errands and didn't start going up there till 12ish. Which was perfect for Simon's nap time, but not for the traffic. Ah well, I'm actually pleased that we were able to be in the car for so long without a meltdown tulips or not!

Adorable pictures. I love the color of that sling! Sounds like a great first adventure. It's so helpful to be able to be flexible like that.

Thanks! Yes, I'm learning to be flexible and to relax. If baby ain't happy ain't nobody happy!
