After a good night's sleep, we got dressed in bathing suits, loaded up all necessary beach stuff and walked to the beach. Because we had not yet gone to the store, we had to walk a few blocks to stock up on some bottled water. The girls did great but we did have a few meltdowns through that first full day. We knew the kids were tired and were actually expecting it. But even with a few scattered tears, we still had a wonderful and fun day. It was very hot but it was beautiful.
Abby and Olivia all ready for the beach. They are sitting on the steps of the house.
They walked the first part of the walk to the store holding hands.
Hats? Check! Beach cover-ups? Check! Sunglasses? Check! Good friend? Check! And that last one is most important!
We found a little place to eat lunch. It was good (though a bit slow!) The girls took pretty long naps that day so right when they woke up we went to dinner. After dinner we stopped by the store so we could get basics like milk, bread, and fruit. Even though it was a little late, it was vacation, so we stopped by a very good ice cream store.
Chocolate ice cream with sprinkles makes any vacation!
