At the Beach

After living here for three years we finally made it to the coast. I really wanted to get away again with just our family of four before number five arrived and completely changed our routine again. We were gone for Thursday night and Friday night and came home Saturday. We left Thursday around 2pm and got there just in time to check into our room.

Friday morning we headed to a rocky beach. It was a bit chilly so we just did some beachcombing. Benjamin found all sorts of treasures including some cools rocks and shells.We headed back to hotel after our morning adventure to make lunch, pb and j's, and then everyone took a nap except Benjamin who watched a movie on the laptop. After naps were done, we headed further north to a different. It had warmed up significantly and the kids played in the water and dug in the sand. Emma loved the beach. She was so happy to just run, splash in the water and get messy in the sand.
This was the sunset that we enjoyed Friday night from our hotel room. It was magnificent!
Then Saturday morning we packed up and headed to the beach again. This time is was very warm. Emma and Benjamin splash in the tide pools because the tide was so low.

We had a great morning and then we ate lunch in the car on the way home. Emma took a nap and Benjamin watched a movie so Stephen and I actually could talk. It was a great trip!
