I had such a great trip to Long Island this summer. Elise has been two times since she was born. The first trip was when she was five weeks old. That was a rough ride, since we hadn’t completely mastered breastfeeding on the go, and I still had an open wound from birth. However, she got to meet her great great grandmother for the first and last time, so that was special.
This time, she was sixteen months old, could walk, and the best part was that everyone was eager to watch her at this age.
I took full advantage of the wonderful family help and I went to work out three times! I took two pilates classes and even a yoga class. It felt so great. We even got the chance to have two date nights. Like boring parents, we went to the same place twice and I ordered the same thing twice. I’m too tired to try new things right now.

This trip was also special because it was my first time on the actual beach. We have been here so many times but hadn’t actually got to enjoy the water.
I used a risograph printed notepad from Tiny Town Surplus in Tucson to write this.
