It was a long, long ... long drive. And we even did things a little differently this year. We took two days to make the drive, stopping about 10 hours into our first day of driving (leaving four hours to go). But we eventually made it to the beach. Sawyer was all smiles from the balcony.
And all three boys were all smiles when we finally made it down to the water. It was a little colder than we like, but not too cold for little boys who love the ocean.
We spent a week watching the waves crash onto the beach in front of our condo. Grandpa grilled out on the barbecue grills while Grandma made the rest of dinner inside. We got to take some walks along the beach, the boys got to get into the ocean a few times, and we made several trips to the heated swimming pool outside.
A nice break from the bitterly cold winter weather that we left behind. Spending time with family. Enjoying home cooked meals. Soaking up some sand and sun and water.
