A couple of weekends ago our family took our first beach trip. We live about 3.5 hours away from the Atlantic Ocean which for us is still considered a day trip. We had planned on going to Wrightsville Beach first, but there was no parking, and after driving around for two hours trying to find a parking spot we finally decided to find another beach.
Thankfully, Bobby found us another beach about an hours drive from Wrightsville Beach. I am thankful that my kids are the ages they are because if they had been any younger this trip would have ended up a disaster. After traveling for 3.5 hours, driving around for 2, and then traveling another hour to find a beach with parking we finally ended up right where we wanted to: on the beach. Sarah and I love the ocean. It is our favorite place to be nature wise. (Well, for me the desert is a very, very close second.) I am surprised I love the ocean so much because I have a fear of it. It is so big and vast and unpredictable.
I am so happy that we live so close to the ocean after 3 years of not living close to one. I am so excited to visit all of the different beaches this part of the country has to offer.
The kids had a blast jumping into the ocean waves, a favorite part time of theirs. The girls and I each took a walk along the shore to collect shells. Despite the troubles of the morning, we ended up having a great day. I cannot wait to go back.
