McKenna's First Vacation!

McKenna was such a big girl and took her first vacation to Hilton Head Island at 4 1/2 months!  We honestly weren't sure that we had made the best decision to drive 5 1/2 hours away from home with lil McKenna but she surprised us and we had a fantastic trip!  McKenna was a great traveler and held onto Mommy's hand a large portion of the car ride and seemed to be content holding my hand, watching her musical mirror, or chewing on her links! 

We just loved the inn we stayed at, South Beach Marina Inn, located in the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head!  We had a gorgeous marina view and shops and restaurants right below us, perfect with a 4 1/2 month old.  We could walk around and do things and then head right back to our room when McKenna needed a nap.  The beach was a short walk away and there were bike/walking trails everywhere, perfect for rolling the stroller!  McKenna wasn't too happy about seeing the ocean for the first time, mostly because she was ready for another nap by the time we got her dressed and out the door.  Oh well, maybe next year she'll actually enjoy splashing in the water but it was fun taking a trip to the beach with our little girl.  I've included some pics of our vacation below.

McKenna is wearing her bathing suit and hat for the first time!  She wasn't too happy about it though.


Ready for the beach!


Seeing the beach for the first time!


McKenna was not happy about the sand or the water!

Her hat was bigger than her! 

Our attempt at a family pic but as you can see McKenna was done!  We were probably on the beach all of ten minutes! 

McKenna's first trip to the beach was exhausting!




McKenna tried out her stroller without the carseat for the first time!  She really seemed to like riding without being in the carseat!


McKenna was not in the mood for a family pic!


Still not in the mood!

Trying to show off her cute sailboat dress.  Oh well, it was a good effort!
