Back from the Beach

Last week at the beach was very nice. I left on Monday and came home on Saturday. As mentioned earlier, this was my first trip to the beach since Ike and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It was not near what I had in mind. Granted it has been almost a year and is a lot cleaner than right after the storm. The beach was clean and the water had actual "white caps", not "brown caps" which is usually the case. There are some spots that have been wiped away, but some areas had a good selection of cabins still left.

Monday we just kind of laid around and rested, but Tuesday we actually went to the beach. There are all sorts of big construction trucks that have made make shift roads in the sand so my mom was following such a road onto the beach and came across some soft sand. Both Ashley and I said to keep going so she stops and gets stuck!! We unload our stuff and start playing assuming someone would help us. It took awhile...I was afraid I was going to have to stand in the road and protrude my pregnant belly (which was fully covered) to get some help. Thankfully, I didn't have to do that and two men stopped to help us.

Wednesday my dad came to the beach with the pool. We were finally saved from having to go to the beach!!!! Funny, right? So the rest of my time was mostly spent relaxing in the pool on our deck and relaxing with my feet propped up. Finally, Jeremy came to the beach with the boys on Thursday night. I missed him and was excited to see him. He was having a busy week and the beach can always help with a busy week. It was the first time for the boys to be at the beach and they did pretty well. Foster didn't bark as much as I thought he would and Chewy didn't jump off of the deck, so all in all they pass the beach test. We came home on Saturday and as nice as it is to get away, it is also nice to be in your own bed again.

I would love to say that I will post pictures, but I don't have any...I am not an avid picture taker. Sorry...I will have to get better at that once Asher comes.
