Blog | Weekend Beach
This weekend we met up with Grandpa Bill (and all his family) at the beach. We rarely get to see Grandpa Bill, and this is the first time I have met his family, so this was a special treat! Everyone adored Brianna, and she handled the huge number of strangers surprisingly well. We even had a ~2 hour dinner (with 24 people) at a restaurant, and she only fussed at the very end (which coincidentally was her bedtime). The beach was beautiful and very peaceful. In fact, it was much nicer than I expected! Despite the fact that we have lived here for several years, this was our first trip to the local beaches. Jason and I both admit to being beach snobs - it is hard not to be when you grow up on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I still love my home beaches best, but I could get used to the occasional trip to these beaches as well, especially since they are so much closer. Here are some pictures of our brief trip.
Jason, Brianna, and Grandpa Bill - this is the view we had from our room. We literally walked a few steps out our door to hit the beach!
This last picture is pretty much as close as I could get to the water without Brianna fussing. She has never minded loud noises, but something about the combination of the noise and the moving water made her nervous. We did dip her toes in the water once - let me just say she did not care for it…So, no pictures of her frolicking on the sand or in the surf. We will try again when we visit the Gulf coast later this year.
