Long Island

We so excited to finally be able to travel and our first trip had to be to visit Baby M, who we haven't seen since he was two months old. We were lucky to find an Airbnb just blocks from Long Beach, about 45 minutes from Bob's brother's house. It was great to see Baby M (and his mom and dad). He's grown so much! The kids had a blast playing at the playground we could walk to from their house.

Saturday we decided to spend the day at the beach. Baby M isn't an early riser, so we had time to walk around and get breakfast at a diner first. Our first meal out as a family post-pandemic!

The beach was amazing. There were hardly any people, and the waves were big and the water was surprisingly warm. The only kid that wasn't a fan was Mr.T., but he fell asleep soon after we arrived, which made the day easier. MiniME and SlimJim couldn't get enough of the water. LittleLG built in the sand with Baby M.

After church Sunday, we walked the Nautical Mile and had italian ice, then spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach before our last dinner with Baby M. It certainly won't be a year and half before we visit again!
