Sun, Sand & Surf

*It's been a couple of weeks now since we went to the coast for The Dude's first official summer vacation... and yes, we are just now posting the details. You see, we have been chasing our little man around the house - he's on the move and keeping us busy! More on that later...

We loaded up the car with all the life-support systems (stroller, travel crib, high chair, 13 changes of clothes) for 3 nights & 4 days at the ocean side with The Family. Cousin E is here for her summertime visit, and we all felt the need to get some sand between our toes. We found a great house that had a marvelous view, all the comforts of home, and that great "beachy" feel.



Though the sun was out, it was still a bit chilly - but we managed to get down to the surf and roll around on the sand (in the stroller, that is...)



We ate well, rested fairly well and sucked in the fresh air. Of course, like all good vacations, it was too short. But this one goes down in the history books as the first of many summer vacations. We look forward to many more for the memory files...
