For all of you who helped me think of ideas, thank you.

The trip went well. It was unfortunately quite rainy so we only had a very short time on the beach one day. Ava did like the water as we held her hands and she walked through and splashed in it. She like the feeling of the sand and tried to eat a shell. I did buy a pool but didn't get to bring it as we were planning a full beach day on our second day and never made it there. We did use it in the yard when we got home and she was thrilled with splashing in the water and climbing in and out of it.

She also slept better there than she has other places we have visited so I don't know if that was luck or the shore air or shat, but it was nice that she let me get some rest!

I will take her again and I will try to use more of the ideas since we will hopefully get to spend more time actually ON the beach. I was so disappointed with the weather.
