I really believe that Scott's involuntary time-off is a gift from God. Yesterday we were able to celebrate our anniversary by visiting one of our favorite places - the beach! The weather was forecast at 75f and sunny, and mid-week is the ideal time to drive down there without traffic.
Before we headed for the beach we stopped in to check out the place we are renting for our vacation as Scott hadn't seen it. That whet our appetites for vacation!
After lunch we headed to the boardwalk and walked the entire length and back, at least a couple of miles. It was Emma's nap-time and she obligingly fell asleep in the stroller for a while.
Although some attractions are not opening until the holiday this weekend, almost everything was open. The beach itself was pretty quiet too and we had our pick of spots. We didn't hit the sand until about 1.30pm, which meant the most dangerous sun time was over.
Still need lotion
As Emma is bigger and more active this year we knew we'd need more than the little tent we had last year so we picked up this cool shelter for $15. We thought it might blow away in the wind but it turned out to work great and gave us shade the whole afternoon.
I was very nervous about Emma + sand, but was very pleased that she did not rub her eyes too much and preferred to be on the blanket. I'm much more excited about vacation now!
There were so many great moments and Emma had an awesome time. The camera was red hot, and you know I'll share...
