Thanks so much for replying! Yes he loves car rides and doesn't get sick at all, he went to visit his grandparents this weekend and it was an hour away and he just slept on my lap or played with his toy (granted 5 hours is a big difference). I know bringing him to the beach should be fine as we're staying at my dad's house so he will have his play pen and can run around as usual but I don't think I will let him run around on the sand yet, makes me too nervous. I will however hold him and take cute pictures of his first beach trip!! Thanks so much guys!
