30 Weeks And Andaman Nicobar Islands


Last weekend we went on adventure to the Andaman Nicobar Islands. It was pretty amazing. First we had to fly over to the main Island Which is called Port Blair and then we had to take a 4 hour boat ride over to Andaman where we stayed it was just a small Island but it was so pretty and green. Here is Lulu and Cody on the boat ride over.

The whole family, I got pretty sea sick on our ride over so I was glad when the time was up and we had arrived to our Island!

When we first got there we didn't have a place to stay so we went looking every place we stopped at said they had only one room available which was making us nervous, so we thought this was the place for us and took it. It was a little hut made out of bamboo, it was pretty crazy, it is something I have only seen in movies or on TV.

Over the bed there was a mosquitoe net, which was another thing I have only seen in the movies but I was glad they had it because I was so worried there was going to be lots of mosquitoes and bugs since the bathrooms roof didn't quit cover the whole bathroom. It was fun sleeping in the net and Lulu joined us so the bugs wouldn't get her in the night and carry her away (just kidding).

Here is the bathroom there was sad on the ground and boards for you to walk on to get to the sink, toilet, and shower.
The next day we went walking down the road to explore when the next hotel over we found this! We loved it and moved right on over to stay the rest of our stay there. It was a brand new resort it has only been open since December.

Here is a picture of the inside it's a little different then our other hut!

Here we are on the beach, see the lush green trees in the back that is how the whole island was it was so pretty. And the sand was so soft on our little feet it was so lovely!


We went for a ride around the Island and this is what most of it looked like, behind me you can see some houses. We couldn't get enough of the beauty that was all around us.


Look at how huge the trunk of this tree is. We couldn't get over how wide it was most of the trees here where like that.


One night Lulu was so sleepy she feel asleep and had this squishy face and we thought it was the funniest face ever we couldn't stop laughing! We love you Lulu and thanks for being the best baby to travel with!



Most of the time we were on the island it rained which was a bummer because we didn't get to enjoy the beach as much as we would have liked to but we still tried to make the most of our trip even if it did rain. Here we are at a restaurant which we thought was really neat, it is pouring down behind us we ended having to move seats because we were getting wet.

A picture of us exploring the beach!


Lulu loves to be on her dad's shoulders she just has the biggest smile on her face the whole time she is up there. She also likes to do this little bounce thing to show how excited she is to be up there. She really likes to pull Cody's hair so she always comes down with hair in her hands!

Lulu never got to put her swimsuit on because the rain was never away long enough for us to enjoy the water enough to put it on. But she did get to put her feet in the water and she liked that!

It was raining really hard the day we went to the nicest beach in Asia but we came all this way we had to go and see it. The picture above is at the same beach and it is raining. Lulu loved holding on to the handle of the umbrella it was so cute!

This is the car that drove us around Cody loved this little area covered in trees! Even though it rained most of the time we were here it was still lots of fun to go and see this amazing place. The food was good the people were so nice and it was so pretty. Thanks Cody for taking us on this adventure!


Guess who turned 30 weeks on Saturday??? You guessed right our little Lulu! Do you guys like our wild animal printed sheets? Lions, Elephants, and unicorns oh my!




Not only did Lulu turn 30 weeks old but on Monday the 14Th Lulu turned 7 months old! Since Lulu turned 7 months old I think she thinks she is ready to start crawling she hasn't yet but I think it will be here before we know it she has been getting up on her knees and hands and rocks back and forth so I think the time is near for when we will have a mover on our hands! So watch out!


Oh and she is getting so good at sitting up all on her own. She seems to really like to sit up she seems so happy!
