I will talk to the doctor on Wednesday at the 2 week check up. Can I take a 2.5 week old to the beach for an hour? I would put sunscreen on an keep her in on of those baby shade tents and keep her well hydrated. We live in Florida on the golf. I would not take her into the water yet.


Answer
I dont see how you wouldnt be able too. As long as you keep her under shade and frequently put sun screen on her and keep her well hydrated I think she would be fine. Just keep her out of the sun.

Essentails to take camping at the beach?

We are going to a place that is right on the beach, we will be in tents & are able to have a fire etc. Apart from the obvious - tents, blankets and stuff, whats some other things i shouldnt forget?
Thanks!



Answer
Well Stakes are going to be useless if you are camping on the beach since they will pull right out of the sand. Your best bet is to get cheap small aluminum pie pans from the supermarket. Pop a hole in the middle of it and pass a string through it and tie a knot then tie the other end of the string to the corner of your tent and bury it. It`ll be hard to pull out of the ground since it has such a great surface area. Agains stakes are useless and you wouldnt need a hammer to slip them into the sand.

Also, I wouldn`t worry about a ground cloth for the tent because sand has excellent drainage, ever been to a beach after a storm and seen puddles? Aside from the puddles caused by the waves. If you improperly setup the ground cloth, i.e have it sticking out from under the tent then it will actually collect rainwater and you`ll end up swimmin in your tent.
I`m assuming you`ll be camping out of your car so weight and amount of gear probably isnt an issue. I would bring at least 2 good size poles (say 8 foot long) to use to setup a tarp. Put the 2 poles at opposite ends of the tarp at the middle grommet, stake down the corners and you`ll have a decent "A" tarp setup. Dig down about 2 feet and bury the poles to give them more stability and again use the pie pans as anchors. You can use 4 poles to put on each corner of the tarp or put 2 poles on the front corners and 2 poles at the middle grommet and stake out the back end of the tarp for a leanto style tarp. This isnt so much for rain as it is for shade. There`s nothing like getting out of the sun after being on the beach all day long.

Baby Powder is also good to have, it`ll help keep you dry when you`ve been walking around in a wet bathing suit all weekend.

Bug Spray, sand flees biting at your ankles and the no-seeums could ruin a weekend beach trip
