Summer Fun...SAND, SURF, & LOTS OF FUN!!

We love summer time! And what better way to enjoy the summer than to take a beach trip! So, when Daddy had to go on a business trip that just happened to be in Beaufort, NC we decided to make a family trip out of it and head to Atlantic Beach, NC. So, as soon as we arrived we decided to check out the beach of course. It was a beautiful wide beach with crystal clear waters...I guess this is why they call this area the Crystal Coast.



So, Caroline and I had a couple of days by ourselves to explore and hit the beach while Daddy attended a business meeting for the first couple of days. It was a lot of fun but I will say it was a lot of work too! Have you ever traveled to the beach with an almost 2 year old! Well, needless to say, Mommy was worn out by the time she hauled beach chairs, a cooler, toys, towels etc...we REALLY missed having Daddy around this day! We checked out the local aquarium the next day while Daddy was working...we had lots of fun seeing all the fish and other sea urchins!



Then Daddy got to enjoy a few days of relaxation with his girls at the beach...fun family times!

Let's hope Daddy gets another business trip like this next year!



Enjoy the pics!



Love,

At the end of the day...Caroline posing with her green turtle while sitting on the BIG one! Did you notice what Caroline is wearing...yes, a dress with fish, appropriate right! :~)

Sand, Surf, and Fun...so much fun...someone fell asleep on Mommy.

Nothing like sleeping on sand and listening to the waves...life at the beach!

Before we left the beach, we had to get a few pics of Caroline in the Dunes...how sweet is she!
