The weather was much more conducive to beach-going today! The wind was just about perfect, few clouds in the sky, and the air temperature was warm. The only thing that could have made it better would be warmer ocean water. But, the kids still had a great time playing in the surf.
We had to trash our poor canopy today. It's been slowly falling apart all week, but today it required the help of duct tape to keep it up. We've used it for 4 summers now, so we got plenty of use from it. I guess tomorrow we will have to depend on a regular umbrella. That's going to be hard since we've kind of spoiled ourselves with a nice, big tent-like shaded area on the beach.
We left the beach around 3 in order to get cleaned up and allow the boys to have a late nap. After naps we went out to dinner and then played around on the beach to watch the sunset. We have to watch the sunset over the bay since we only get a sunRISE on the ocean here on the east coast. But, our annual sunset trip is always alot fun. I think we got some good pictures and I can't wait to see them all!
Again, the kids went to bed without a moment's hesitation! I'm guessing they'll sleep great and I'm HOPING they sleep late again--8:00 would be nice.
Tomorrow is our last full day here and we plan to spend it on the beach again. Saturday will just be for packing up, cleaning, and driving home.
