We are blessed that with only a 5.5 hour drive we can arrive here... A local beach town for surf, sea, and sun. Intense heat each day with not many clouds in sight. Nice seafood restaurants in nearby local villages. Minimal waves to tip the kids and a huge water park (apparently the highlight of the 'beach' vacation) less than 20 minutes away. Rea has become fully comfortable on her own in the water including going down some slides by herself (first time was not intentional). My father has joined us for 3 weeks and became the star with with kids playing in the sand. As anyone with kids knows ironically the beach vacations are not as relaxing as one might think. For collecting all the gear to applying repetitive sunscreen to feeding to naps to playing, almost no time to make it through even a chapter in our books. And the evenings too worn out to make it just down the strip to the local evening outdoor bars. But overall we loved the time away as a family and hope this will recharge us till our next seaside trip early Sept where we will meet up with my sister, Stacey.
