Day one...
We hit the road beach bound around 3:00 am on Friday morning..We figured this would be best since Baylen usually sleeps until around 7-8 am. It was the best decision ever because she slept about 3/4 of the trip!! She actually did very well the times when she was awake because I rode in the back with her :) Besides a few occasional stops for food and a doodie diaper..we managed to make great timing! ( alittle less than 7 hours to be exact!) When we arrived we met up with my sister-in-law and her family to have lunch and then we all hit the beach a runnin'!!
sweet toes in the sand :)
nappy time in the sunshine!
We were able to stay at the beach the enitre day until early evening. It was very hot but we were all loaded up with sunblock of course! Baylen LOVED the beach. The ocean on the other hand..now thats just not included! The water was freezing so she didn't like that too much..but she liked the sand and sun! After a a little fun in the sand building a sea turtle, a few cat naps in the sun and just socializing...we all hit the pool!!
The pool was heated at the resort so you gotta know Baylen loved that! We carried a mommy and me float and it was perfect. She loved every minute of the pool water...even being splashed!! We definitely didn't miss a smile :)

After a fun filled day of sunshine and sandy toes....we all hit the showers to get ready for dinner. We ate dinner downtown Historic St. Augustine's St. George street at a small pub style restaurant called Harry's...Very Yummy!! St. George street is full of door to door shops and restaurants, live music, carraige rides and bicycle taxies...very vintage atmosphere! (St Augustine is actually the oldest European established city and the oldest port in the US!)
Day two...
The wedding day. My husband's cousin John Sweat Jr was married in a town called Greencove Springs. It a small town where Jeremy's Grandfather's family is from. It was about 30 min from St. Augustine Beach. It was a very nice ceremony and we were thrilled to see my husbands family that went do not get to see that often. Baylen was so great at the wedding. She is such a good baby so I didnt doubt for a second that she wouldn't be :)

After the wedding and reception we headed back to St. Augustine so that we could hit the beach again! It was pretty late in the afternoon so we only spent a few hours at the beach and pool. Baylen was lovin' every minute!! Her favorite was definitely the pool :)
Later in the evening we went to eat at Schooners and had some yummy seafood with some of my husband's family who live in the area (Who can go to FL and not eat some fresh sea food??)
Day three...
Home Sweet Home here we come! We had such a great trip. Baylen was a little angel :) She did very well considering we were not at home in our normal enviornment. I wondered the whole way to FL how she would do not having her crib, swing and walker, etc. She was perfect! She slept in the bed with us both nights and slept all night long..its funny because she fell asleep snuggled against me and we woke up with her snuggled up with jeremy both mornings...she is such a little stinker :) I really wished we could have stayed longer but it was just a short and sweet trip to attend the wedding and a chance to take her to the beach for the first time...if all goes well, we hope to take a cruise with her next spring! :)
