Mullet Bay Beach 1/3/16

After two days of cleaning and organizing our new apartment we decided it was time to FINALLY hit the beach. Everywhere you go you see water, but always wonder how do you get there?! I wanted to find the best routes from our apartment so that I could walk with the boys by myself with ease when he's in class.

From what I've found so far Mullet Bay Beach and Cupecoy Beach are the closest to us. Mullet Bay Beach is a straight shot from our apartment and over the golf course so we took that path. Breathtaking views!! Keep in mind we came from Kansas where there was snow and ice on the ground!

Bradley was a little unsure of the water, but was okay if Jordan held him. The waves were pretty strong because it was a slightly windy day. I sat down on a towel with the baby and quickly realized that I sat down too close to the water because the current came up and soaked me, Ian and our only towel!! Lesson learned.

Bradley mostly played in the sand, but had a few meltdowns because he didn't want to be dirty. He also learned that sand is not like snow and throwing it..especially on his baby brother..is not allowed!! Thankfully Jordan's cousin told me about the baby powder trick to remove sand off the skin.

Our beach trip was cut short because out of nowhere (this happens often) a cold rain down poured and I was worried about Ian getting too cold since our only towel was already soaking as well. Another lesson learned!

Overall it was a great time with a perfect view, but some things I've taken note of:

• pack extra towel
• invest in beach chair/umbrella
• bring baby powder
• carry baby in the sling- our stroller does not do well on the beach!
