Beach Person

I am a beach person. I always have been and I always will be. Ashley was a beach baby and now is a beach preschooler. Hopefully Peyton will be a beach baby too, he has already had two trips to the beach this year and loves playing (eating?) in the sand.

Instead of our usual Memorial Day Weekend trip to my parents' beach house in Carolina Beach, we went to Blowing Rock with some friends. We rented a house with two other families. I had a wonderful time with Ryan, Ashley and Peyton, but I have to be honest and say I really missed not being at the beach. Peyton takes two naps a day, so we are somewhat restricted with what we can do, we have to plan around his nap times. That being said, we were not able to do much with the other two families because they have older children and were not on the same schedule as us. I enjoyed spending time with Ryan and the kiddos, but we could have done that at our own home or at my parents for FREE. Oh well, live and learn, right?

I am counting down the days until we go to the beach in June (a week and a half away!). Ashley asks me constantly when we are going to the beach, I don't think she understands the concept of time yet, but I keep telling her SOON!

We probably won't get to the beach as much this summer as we have in the past. Blame it on ridiculous gas prices and the amount of time it takes to pack, load, unload and repeat with two little ones. We are planning on joining a local pool just a short walk from our house so we will still get a lot of sun and water time this summer. Hopefully Peyton will be a pool person too!
