Minnicks’ First Fernandina Trip

We were so excited to hit the road again for Lola first trip to Florida! It was Lou and I’s first trip to Fernandina all together so we got to share in  first time experience with Lola!

Tara gave us a tour of downtown Fernandina when we arrived and Lola loved all the sights, smells, sunshine and cool breeze!20140529_150314-1 20140529_150423

We literally argue over who gets to hold her in pictures and who is in the pictures with her….. 20140529_150539

The waterfront restaurant was so cute and right on the Marina so it was perfect to put Lola to sleep while we ate lunch outside! 20140529_151306 20140529_151353

Is it normal to go on vacations simply to eat as much yummy food as possible right!?!?! These shrimp salad croissants were to die for oh yes and thanks to cafe 33 were all obsessed with kettle chips! 20140529_153220   Lola has gotten so much more cuddly with me lately, I can’t get enough, she woke up from her nap and just wanted to be held and she loves the wind blowing on her!

We finished eatting and guess who woke up!

20140529_155416We got back to the condo to check on the pups and then Lola and mommy decided it was perfect timing to sneak in some birthday decorations for the condo complete with chocolate nuggets from her little nugget!  20140530_121558Then we hit the beach!

Lola looks like such a chunk in this one! 20140530_11504920140530_125245 20140530_130400 20140530_130505 20140530_130512 Family pic!  20140530_130618

  First non Lola pic in 4 months!20140530_132452 20140530_134424 20140530_134558

Sometimes the crying pics are the best! 20140530_134604

I guess we like Hilton Head water better than Florida water? 20140530_134627 20140530_134658 20140530_134702 20140530_134726 20140530_135038 20140530_135054

Lola says there is no shame in a muffin top! 20140530_141749

Thank God for a husband who doesn’t mind being in the shade! 20140530_141816 20140530_142105 20140530_142107Lola loved our walks on the beach and tent time!  20140530_142214 20140530_142610

When Lola fell asleep it was time for him to entertain KK… I swear we are good parents were just really desperate to get a tan! 20140530_144959

Traveling with a baby has been an interesting task… I didn’t pack a bathtub so this was our alternative after the beach everyday!20140530_162130

Poor baby, she usually LOVES bathtime but hated that she didn’t have her own tub… she was not falling for the share with mommy thing! Please child do not be independent!

KK was such a good helper for Lola! She would give her a paci, her bottle and even enjoyed holding Lola!

Aunt Taras First birthday night out- in Fernandina!  20140530_174139 20140530_174234

Renee accidently taught me a little magic trick while we were on the way to the restaurant, she rubbed Lolas lovie around her face and Lola fell asleep instantly!  Thanks Ney! Lola has slept with her lovie every single night since this trip!20140530_180228

Dinner at Peppers and it was SO good! 20140530_181703 20140530_181734 20140530_184152 20140530_185450

Get naked, change clothes and ice cream after dinner… totally normal right? 20140530_200636 20140530_200725

The next day we were struggling! Ever sincce Lola has moved out of our room she has slept straight through the night and having her share a room with us was torture for her “she slept in the same room as her favorite food cooking” if ya know what i mean! So by 7 am we had all given up on sleep!

20140531_113549

Didn’t seem to slow Lola down! We were off to the beach! 20140531_115729 20140531_115737 20140531_123540 20140531_123638 20140531_130711 20140531_130825 20140531_130849 20140531_130904 20140531_130928 20140531_130959  Lauryn and her fiance came to meet us for the day… well lets be honest she came to meet Lola!20140531_142156 She was a natural and it was so good visiting with her!20140531_14181120140531_151247 20140531_151303 20140531_161557

I love being so close to the beach and being able to have the pups there, this picture below of Milly is just too much…. Lola is more than likely on my hip and she is more than likely thinking “I dare you to come over here with thtat baby and take this moment away from me”.

At-ta-tude.

20140531_170044My blue eyed girl!  20140531_175317Time for dinner round 2 at The Surf!  20140531_200225 20140531_200252 20140531_200401 It was the most 80’s place we have ever been too, so naturally Ney fit right in ;) It was actually an old hotel… hell it may still be a hotel… either way it was a very cool concept and great atmosphere!20140531_202314 20140531_202406

They have an oldies band playing music and Lou took KK and Lola to dance!20140531_213509

Sunday Morning it poured down rain and we headed home!

On the road again huh LolA!20140601_141530 20140601_141551

The only way to travel during the day with a baby is lots of pit stops so we made our favorite one before dropping off Aunt Tara ….El Som! 20140601_185552 20140601_185600  Thank heavens for sleepy baby on car rides! 1401140420975

Until next time Fernandina, thanks for helping us celebrate Taras 30th!
