I wanted to share our short, but very sweet trip with you. The picture below pretty much defines how we felt spending time with Puff and Briana on the beach (pure joy.) Harvey has been on EIGHT airplanes now.
Here are a couple tips I have for my other traveling mamas out there.
- Babywearing! I love that they let you walk straight through security wearing your little one. I can even collapse my stroller by myself when Harvey is in the Ergo.
- Gate check your stoller (or stroller/carseat combo like I have.) It's free!
- Pack a new toy just for the plane. (Or an old one they haven't played with in a while)
- Snacks. And save them for the plane, even though it's tempting to use them during your 2 hour layover. I bring Puffs for Harvey (His absolute favorite at the moment are banana cookies, but they are messy so those are only for desperate measures ha)
- Transfer your diaper bag into a backpack.
-Accept some help from strangers. Now I'm not going to pass my kid off to someone I don't know, but if someone offers to break down my stroller, give me an aisle seat or entertain my baby playing peek-a-boo a few minutes I'm going to accept it with a smile. There are still some kind folks out there.
Okay, so now it is time to begin the beach pix overload . . .

So I will leave you with one of my favorites. This is the face you get when you tell your baby not to eat sand.
