It's super hot here, and Jeff's busy season hasn't quite started yet. We didn't need any more reasons to drive to the coast yesterday! Getting there and settled was exhausting, but worth it. Jeff had the brilliant idea to bring a tent that we normally use for camping and create some shade on the beach. It was great. He worked really hard packing, setting up, breaking down, and taking care of details. Gracie stayed in the tent the whole time with at least one of us, and the rest of us could take refuge in there whenever we needed to. It was a great day. It's so wonderful to hear the waves crashing and enjoy the ocean. We were spent at the end of the trip! Jonathan said that it was the perfect day. You can see why below: he really loved playing in the sand with his daddy.
Gracie was mostly happy during our day trip. Except when she was trying to nurse in very warm places...a restaurant with no air conditioning, for example. Or when she got hungry but there was no place to stop for awhile. Who can blame her? Otherwise, she was a very good sport. She looks like she's dressed for cool weather, but I was just trying to protect her from the sun. Next summer, I think she'll enjoy the beach a lot more than she does now.

Thank you for enjoying the ocean. Some people live close and don't even go. Silly people! We're glad you appreciate the beautiful things where you live. :-)
Looks like a great day. We miss the ocean too. Looking forward to living closer to it again.
We haven't gotten to the coast yet. We so need to make a day of it. Thanks for inspiring us:-)
Good for you! I can't imagine a summer without sandcastles and surf.
