Tybee Island

Last week I took my first (of many!) summer beach trip to Tybee Island, GA.  Tybee Island is near Savannah where Daddy's family lives, and we have a family beach house there.  When Daddy was growing up, he used to go there for a week with his family every summer, and now it's my turn to keep the tradition!

Beach baby!

Mommy and I left first on Monday morning and flew to Jacksonville, FL.  GiGi and Sean came to pick us up, and we were supposed to go to the zoo, but it was raining so we decided not to, which was a bummer.  We started driving straight to Savannah instead, but when we were about halfway there, Sean got sick in the car!  Our vacation was off to a rough start!  Mommy and I finally made it to the beach, but GiGi and Sean went to their house in town to spend the night since he wasn't feeling well.  They came to meet us the next day when he was feeling better, and then on Wednesday night Daddy came, too!

Sean LOVES playing in the waves, but I'm not too sure about them yet.

Bubbles!

I got my very own pool on the porch at the house, too!

Making big splashes

Water is so much fun!

I took a bath in the pool almost every day when we got back from the beach!

On Thursday night, I had my first birthday party with Matey and Grandaddy 

The balloon was my favorite part!

I wasn't too sure what to do with the cupcake. 

I ate a little frosting, but I was pretty full from dinner.

It was a busy week!  We went to the beach every day, and I really liked it!  I spent a TON of time in my pool at the beach and on the porch at the house.  I really love playing with water!  Mommy took me out in the big water with the waves a couple of times, but that was little bit scary.  Maybe next year when I'm bigger I'll like it more.  In the afternoon the beach got bigger and there were big puddles of water in the sand.  Mommy and Daddy said it had something to do with something called the tides.  I loved to sit and play in those the few days when we were out at the beach late enough.
