We rewarded ourselves with a weekend at the beach courtesy of Shane's Hilton points from work travel. One payback for all those lonely nights without him. We picked up the kids early from school on a Friday in Sept. They were on top of the world! It was so nice going after peak season....it was so quiet and the water was like glass. There were no waves for boogie boarding, but we could go out and float and the kids could see and catch fish and crab. So fun! Cohen was an angel just sleeping and hanging out under the awning. Max and Ellie played in the sand and water together all day. It was so peaceful. The beach is definitely our favorite vacation spot.
