We decided we wanted to stay so off to the hotel room Dan went for a beach blanket, the beach tent, Ry’s paci for her nap, and my kindle. As soon as he left Ry started screeching, and was in need of a good nap. It took me a good ten minutes but she finally fell asleep. Once Dan got back with the tent we moved her inside. Stupid first time parents set up the shade tent with the opening facing the sun. We moved Ry to get her into the shade, and sure enough nap time was over.
She spent the next 45 minutes fussing, so we packed up, headed back to the room, put Ry in her stroller and headed out to lunch… oh wait, Ry and I did that, while Dan was still on the beach trying to fold up the tent! Apparently, the practicing he did in the hotel room the night before didn’t help.
In an effort to get back to sleep we walked along the boardwalk for a good mile, and then headed back onto the main drag to find something to eat. We stopped at Oasis Café because they had these really fun looking swinging chairs. That was the only thing fun about it. The food was mediocre at best, and the “famous” Mojito was absolutely disgusting. Dan Comment: The swinging chairs were pretty relaxing, my food was pretty good, and if you order a drink with a plant in it, you really shouldn’t expect it to be good.
In typical Ry fashion, she didn’t fall asleep on our walk until we were almost the full mile out, so she slept through all of lunch. After we ate, we headed back to the room to give Ry a late lunch. When we got there, the maid had finally just arrived to start cleaning so we headed down to the pool deck to feed her. After Ry ate Dan and Ry took another swim while I took out my ‘fancy’ DSLR camera to take some pictures of them swimming. When we got back to the room Ry was due for another nap, unfortunately, again, she struggled to go down. We threw her in her stroller and headed out for another walk before dinner.
We ate dinner at H20 café. The food here was much better than lunch – the seared ahi Tuna appetizer was amazing and came with an awesome sauce (maybe peanut satay-ish). Once again, Ry slept through all of dinner so we didn’t feed her until we got back to the room around 7.
Bathtime followed, and after a good 50 minutes of struggling she finally went to sleep around 9:09. My poor girl. It is so sad to watch her fall asleep as it seems like she is in pain. Maybe we will see a tooth pop through in the next few days, to help explain why my super happy baby has been super cranky. After Ry was finally asleep we spent some time on YouTube to figure out how to fold up our tent. My goal for Dan for the end of the vacation is this. But for tomorrow I'll be happy with:
I mean it doesn't look that hard, does it? Post Vacation Update: Dan never figured out how to take down the tent, good thing Mommy did.
