Running from the Storm

Ok, so we were not "fleeing." We left a few days early because of Ike. He was creating big rip tides and the beach was flying the double red flags (no one can get in the water). It also got very windy and we were staying on the 20th floor.....made me nervous! So, here we are headed home -- the van all loaded down.

This was taken a few days before we left. On Thursday when we left, the tide was at the sand dunes -- the beach chairs had already been moved or they would have been swept out to sea.
Again, taken a few days before we left. The night before we left, it rained on and off and was cloudy -- great reasons to come home!


Hours in the car driving to and from the beach: 16
Number of baths given to babies on vacation: 8
Loads of laundry when we got home: 6
Seeing the boys with their feet in the sand and water: priceless
(By the way, on Wednesday, our last day on the beach, Benjamin got in the water and loved it. Sorry that we have no pictures of it.)

Looks like a good ole time at the beach. Maybe next season you will have two water babbies on your hands.
