BHI in April

Hello from Bald Head Island! Our favorite place to recharge. 

Spring Break at BHI In April this !

Spring Break at BHI In April

Spring Break is such a lovely time to come to Bald Head! It’s usually warm enough to spend lots of time outside, but not warm enough to swim. Always add a sweatshirt for your golf cart ride!

If you’re curious for more details about the island, check out this post I wrote last year: Traveling To Bald Head Island. 

Thomas, Birch and I came down on Friday. (Mazen is at Disneyland with his dad!)

After months and months of talking about docks, pirates, and boats, guess who was thrilled to do his Jack Sparrow impression for the crowd!?

Unpacking + Pizza

We unpacked and picked up two wood-fired pizzas from the market.

Spotted: Winc Summer Water!

Since I already brought my own bottles of Winc that were still warm from travel, I picked up this rose to try!

We got a sausage pizza and an eggplant pizza, plus a caesar salad kit.

Our Toddler Bed

Birchie is sleeping in this blow-up toddler bed. His first time not in a crib! It’s been great, and he has slept and napped well in it.

It’s been fun just the two of us in the evenings – we’ve never been here alone together.

I’ve been having bagels or yogurt bowls for breakfast each morning.

The next morning we hit the beach!

Carve Designs

I got this Cruz rashguard and these Bali shorts from Carve Designs – my new favorite shop for summer wear! The rashguard is so comfortable, and the shorts have both front and a back pocket, so they’re great for tucking things for a beach walk.

We’ve also spent time at the Club playground.

All playgrounds need pool chairs this comfy for parents!

AND we’ve been to the Club pool!

We picked the warmest day and the pool is heated, but the water was still very cold!! Birch got in up to his legs, and some kids were full-on swimming.

Horizons For Dinner

We went to Horizons at the Club for dinner on Sunday night. Thomas and I both got the grouper special, and Birch had french fries and a pouch!

Pirate Invasion 

If you thought we came to an island full of pirate history without a full-on pirate costume, you thought wrong 🙂 Some year we will have to come for pirate invasion week.

Mom + Dad are here now, and I’ll share some more pics later this week, maybe even this weekend! 

Happy spring break!

    What a cute little guy snuggled in his sleep sack 🙂 Never been to Bald Head Island-but you make it look fun!
    I like your rashguard, is it comfortable? Some of them just don’t breathe and get so hot.

      🙂

      I haven’t worn it in July/August yet, but so far it’s great. Super comfortable. It’s a lot more breathable than the surfer style one I had for the past decade because it’s looser so the breeze goes in.

        Thanks Kath! I’ve been looking for a few things for summer.
        This company looks so nice! Ordered a rashguard and a suit.
        They offer a discount for first time buyers if anyone else is shopping.

    I love those shorts you linked to! What size did you get? I feel like we are similar. The fit finder puts me at a SM. The reviews say they run big though. I’m a small or 4 for all my Stitch Fix items.

      They are quite big/loose. I like that for swim wear but I can see you liking a small if you want a tighter fit. I have to tie the waste pretty tight with the drawstring but the hips fit well.

        That’s good info – and I’m a small top for stitch fix styles but every other brand I get a medium. I could fit in a small but I’m at the point in my life I just want to be comfortable. lol. I haven’t bought shorts in so long, I have no other brand to really go off that I feel is consistent with sizing.

    It’s frustrating that you preach body acceptance but also manipulate your photos to make yourself look thinner.

      Thanks for thinking I’m that good at photoshop!! Wish I were. Sorry for your disappointment that these photos are unedited other than brightening / colors.

    How fun! I love all the pics. Looks like a really slow paced and restful week (well, as slow paced as it can be with a toddler).
