Beach or Bust!

On Memorial Day weekend, we took Ryan to the beach for the first time. Mimi has a condo at Surfside Beach (near Myrtle Beach) and we were glad to finally get to visit it. It was a great weekend. Ryan was not too sure about the sand or ocean when we first introduced him to it. By the third day, Ryan did not seem to mind the ocean. However, Ryan loved the pool from the first day! It took him a few minutes to get used to it, but he loved it. Here are a few pictures of Ryan at the ocean and the pool.

While at the beach, Ryan tried bananas and peas for the first time. He loves bananas, but he just likes peas! We decided to give him jars of baby food while at the beach, just to make it easier and lessen the amount of cargo. Ryan did not seem to mind; however, he does seem to enjoy homeade bananas and peas better than the ones in the jar. 

We did not spend all our time in the water. Of course, Ryan had to eat and nap at regular intervals. We headed out to Pawley's Island one day. This beautiful island is on my lists of places that I would love to live at some point in my life. We want to take Maggie the next time, so she can go play on the beach! We love dog friendly places and we think she would have a ball at the ocean! Nick and I went out on the beach while Ryan napped in the car with Mimi. Also, we stopped by Lollipop Junction to see what type of cute beach attire they might have for Ryan. We bought him an infant hat with a crab on it! He looks too cute in it.

My hair never blows the right way!

We had a great trip and we are looking forward to our next visit! Of course, Ryan will be going to Treasure Island, Florida over July 4th week! Nick's family goes every year around the same time with a large group of people from Glen Haven! It is lots of fun and we look forward to introducing Ryan to more new friends! I included a few more cute pictures...

So tired from the ocean...Mimi is comfortable!
