We drove up to Port Aransas for Ella's first trip to the beach! With the baby, the dogs and all of our stuff we had a very full car. Ella did great and slept almost the whole way! We stopped in Bayside (about 3.5 hours from Austin) so she could have a snack and a diaper change. The motion of the car puts her to sleep, so as long as we're moving she's a happy camper!
The beach was really nice, not too windy and in the 80s.
We took Ella out to eat with my parents at Shells. They don't have high chairs, so she hung out in the Maya wrap while we ate.
We also took her to the Rockport Wine festival. I was a little worried about taking her to a wine festival... but there were lots of parents with kids there, she even got to meet another Ella!
