Beach Week!

Or should I say beach days! We were gone for 2 full days, but let me tell you that was one most comical shitshows that has ever been orchestrated without any alcohol...Well maybe a few sips... What do you get when you have 3 people with ADHD, 1 person with postpartum hormones, a teething 5 month old and a colicky 6 week old? You get the most eventful road trip and vacation imaginable! 

 

And boy do we know how to pack a car up..The only foot room is on the dash or across the person next to you's lap..That's it! So there we have it...3 adults, one 7 year old whose favorite things to say were "are we there yet?" or "mom, I'm bored", and 2 infants who were actually very well behaved on the ride down.. All driving through the MIDDLE.OF.NOWHERE. I mean it took driving off the beaten path to an entirely new level. We finally ended up at our destination with very little sanity left between the 3 of us.

It was the first time we had taken babies to the beach..Jaiden's first trip to the beach was when he was 4 so I had never taken a baby to a beach..And let me tell you..If I had to again..I might rethink that..I had fun, but Baby John is colicky, and when your wet, and sticky and covered in sand..breast feeding is actually quite difficult and just all around uncomfortable! But he was pretty content for the first 20 minutes we were at the beach..and then after that he lost his shit..

Both cutie pie babies at the beach!

After our very short time spent at the beach that day, we went back up and mom and I ventured out to Wal Mart where I discovered that Wal Marts in Maryland...DO NOT SELL ALCOHOL! Absolute Insanity! But other than that it was completely People of Wal Mart worthy as those places normally tend to be..The stigma isn't just valid in one particular state. ITS EVERYWHERE!

We later on ended up at the boardwalk..AT 9PM and then decided it would be smart to park on 22nd street and walk all the way down..Well let's just say we walked over 3 miles and didn't get back to the room until after 1am..With 2 babies and 1 7 year old..By that time we were all exhausted, delirious, and yelling things like"you dropped your pocket" to people walking as we drove by..Yes we are that childish..And it's not just one of us..It was all of us!

After the beach Jaiden and I had a mommy/Jaiden date..We went to play putt putt! It's always been one of my favorite things to do at the beach and now it's one of Jai's favorites too! 

  Jaiden scored 2 holes-in-one that day...

 And please do no ask why my child is wearing a hoodie in 90+ degree weather....

On our way home we stopped by the boardwalk and ate Guido's Burritos.....Let's just say that people probably go there more for the alcohol than the food..but we had fun anyways! The car ride home included both babies completely losing their shit, as soon as we crossed the bridge leaving Ocean City, I had a manic episode of laughing so hard I cried, and then could not stop crying for at least 5 minutes, followed by a mild panic attack while crossing the Bay Bridge..Fuck.my.life. That shit was freaky! We finally made it home all in one piece... mentally and emotionally drained, but we had the best time!
