Beyoncé and Jay-Z are taking a little time for themselves.

Sure, the couple happily brought their bundle of joy, Blue Ivy, along with them for a family vacay in St. Barts over the Easter holiday weekend. But like any new parents, sometimes a break from diaper duty is most definitely needed.

On Monday, Bey and Jay spent a bit of quality time together by throwing on their swimwear (matching, no less!), hitting the beach and soaking in the sun.

But don't feel bad for baby Blue. Earlier in the day, she accompanied her folks on a luxury yacht for a casual cruise in the Caribbean.

So, if anything, the tiny tyke may have actually enjoyed having a little "me time" herself while mommy and daddy took in the sand and surf. Minus a nanny or two, or course.
