Every July, Vic and I take a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We absolutely love it there and we were so excited to bring Aiden this year! Aiden is now 25 weeks old and a bundle of energy and smiles. Here are some pictures from our trip:
First day at the pool. It was pretty cloudy when we arrived, so we decided to lounge out here instead of lugging all our gear to the beach. Aiden was so excited to be in the water. He was so mesmerized by the ripples in the pool!
Hanging with Daddy on the beach. Aiden loved watching the ocean and took very good naps as he was lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves! Vic and I definitely had "new parent" syndrome when deciding what to bring to the beach. We brought everything!! We figured we'd just see what worked and what didn't. HUGE shout out to my friend Katie for recommending we bring the stroller!! It was all we needed!
Hehe, my chubby monkey... so happy.
Another cute pic of Aiden chilling by the pool. We ended up spending the majority of the time by the pool since we were more comfortable putting him in the pool versus into the ocean. Myrtle Beach had a serious heat wave while we were there!!

Sunset picture at Broadway at the Beach. Aiden is passed out from the swimming that he did with Daddy during the day!
Neat picture from our balcony looking down onto the numerous pools at our condo.
Happy baby! Aiden LOVED the water!! He would splash around and practice his swim kicks!
Beachside!
This was our best attempt at a family picture by the water. It was hard to get Aiden to look at the camera, he kept turning his head to watch the ocean!

It was so funny watching Aiden in the water. He would constantly splash his arms into the pool, sending drops of water everywhere. When he would splash his face... he seemed so confused on where it came from!!
Daddy took us to Ripley's Aquarium for some fish gazing. Aiden really had a great time watching all the fish swim by.
Jellyfish!

We had such a great time at the beach. Aiden is so curious now, it was really fun watching him interact with the things around him and try to figure things out. He was an angel all week.. and I'm not just saying that! Vic and I were able to go out to dinner every night, Aiden in tow, and every night at least one couple would comment to us how lucky we were to have such a wonderful, well- behaved baby! We're definitely looking forward to many more trips to come!
