Fist off, this was Noelle's first time in a hotel. She's only stayed at people's houses or been camping - when we actually got hotel rooms she's gotten the shaft and had to stay home. She was silly with excitement about our 'bedroom.' They messed up our reservation so we ended up getting a room with a bed and a pull out sofa but Noelle could not have loved it more. She was up until 11:00 jumping from her bed onto ours.
When we awoke the excitement had not worn off. Noelle still was still smitten with our 'bedroom.' She and Madeleine had all kinds of fun being silly on the bed.
When we arrived at the beach after an incredibly long haul pulling my stroller through the deep, powdery sand (long story), my legs were burning and I was sweaty! Luckily, The beach certainly did not disappoint!
When we broke for a snack and Madeleine was snoozing in the stroller Noelle and I had fun with an impromptu photo shoot. That's right - the fun never stops with me.
I tried a different way leaving the beach as to not have the work out of my life again, it was just a slightly less than the previous work out and I realized the road did not continue the way that I thought it did. I had no idea how to get back to our hotel but I knew it couldn't be far. Check out time was approaching and to make things even more fun one of the back tires on the stroller was flat. At first, my attitude was that this would be a fun adventure but that quickly faded. After some sketchy directions, STEEP hills (where I'm sure some cars driving by saw more of my behind than anyone would have liked), an incredibly heavy stroller over loaded with beach gear and 3 miles in horrible flip flops- we made it!
We showered, got our bags situated, and thwap! thwap! thwapped! our way back to town on our broken down ride and had a fantastic time waiting for Daddy. We walked around, looked in shops, ate fudge & salt water taffy and lastly played at their awesome park.
