Our Private Perfect Beach

After spending the morning at the Aquarium, Jake took a nap, Grace played with Grandpa, I shopped and Matt went for a run.  After dinner I took the kids to a playground and discovered a great little beach.  I didn't think our usual beach, right across the street from the house, would be a good plan since  there were unusually high winds.  It's not fun to go to the beach when it's really windy, cold and there is sand blowing in your face.    This place, however, looked perfect.  It's a little beach on the inter-coastal side about a mile from the house.  The water is calm and shallow and it's protected from the winds.   I couldn't wait to come back the next day when it would be sunnier.
