Beach, July 2011

When you live 2 hours from the ocean, you have to take a trip to the beach in the summer. We were planning to go on Sunday, July 24 but the temps were close to 100 and the heat index was around 110 degrees. Too hot!

So Mike and I decided to go on Tuesday the 26th. We woke up to drizzle and clouds in Fuquay but left. It was cloudy and rainy as we drove but we continued on. When we got to the beach, it was just cloudy and actually on the cool side. So it was a nice day. We found a less crowded beach (and free parking) in Kure Beach near the NC aquarium. We spent close to 2 hours at the beach. Clara LOVED it. We couldn't keep her out of the water. She wanted to run in it, lay in it, sit in it. splash it, everything. It was a lot of fun. She LOVES water. She will be starting swim lessons next week on August 8. She has started to blow bubbles in the water.






These two remind me of the start of a triathalon. Her Aunt Sarah would be proud.
