For the first weekend in October we decided to take a last minute trip before I give birth. We chose Harlec, Wales. Dave found a amazing vacation rental that was sweet and charming. The weekend weather couldn't have been any better, with highs of 83 F. We toured the local castle, which could be seen from our bedroom window and spent a day at the beach. We delighted in the locally made ice cream (more than once) and walked the gardens of Portmeirion. Ava loved being on "vacation" and thought that having her own room with 2 twin size beds (one for her and one for her animals) was the best thing ever! We brought our own food and tried to just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Wales is so beautiful with tons of variety: mountains, grassy hills, sandy beaches, wildlife, and tiny villages. I would love to go back and see more someday.

and found some interesting things on the beach
The water was really cold but Dave got all the way in a few times, Ava ran until Dave grabbed her, throwing her over his shoulder every time a wave came.
