Lido Beach - Part II

After a good night sleep, I woke up this morning to a smiling baby.  It's such a joy to have Isabella in my life, and to have her smiling and laughing constantly.  We got up and greeted everyone (it's a family vacation) and then had some breakfast.  Once that was over, we started our new adventure for the day. Sunblock, swim diapers, bathing suit, hat, toys, etc...after almost an hour of having gotten out of bed, we headed out to the beach.  

The day was a little cloudy, but the sun was still burning strong.  As we got closer to the beach, we saw that the waves were strong and big, and decided to stay on shore.  Isabella had a ton of fun running up to the water and then back to us - I'm so glad she finally got over her dislike of sand.  After a while, I headed to the pool with her and we enjoyed some mommy and daughter time splashing in the water.  A walk on the beach with my sister-in-law came next, and I have to say I enjoyed catching up with her and talking about life in general.  Work, relationships, Isabella, economy, etc...just relaxing and enjoying the soft sand under our feet and the sound of the waves breaking a couple of feet away from us.  

We decided to go into St. Armand's Circle again for lunch.  This time we went to another cozy restaurant, where we had a variety of pasta, some with seafood, chicken, white sauce, red sauce - all delicious!  Since it was too hot and humid for a walk right then and there, we headed back to the hotel for a nap.  The afternoon ended once again with some fun at the beach and pool, and then some homemade food.  To end this second night of vacation, we headed into St. Armand's Circle for a stroll and some ice cream.  I hope the weather will continue to be as beautiful as it has been these past two days, so we may continue to enjoy this little paradise.
