Hello, Beach

Winter vacations. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. This year, luckily, ours worked out great. We drove a little more than half way the first day, spent the night at a hotel with an indoor swimming pool, then finished up the drive on Sunday.

And we were greeted with this ...



Sunshine. Near 80 degree temperatures. And a beautiful beach with bigger than usual crashing waves.

And we enjoyed a week of mostly great weather, with lots of beach and swimming pool days for the boys. They say Grandma and Grandpa have the best ideas ever, and the winter beach trip is one of their favorites! We are so fortunate they invite us down to share it with them.

Good-bye, beach. We're going to miss you and your warm sunshine as we drive back north.
