Ocean View!

This Sunday we had a little mini vacation. We went to the beach for the whole day. When I say we went to the beach - it means - we went to JUST the beach & spent all the day there. There was no browsing in nonsensical knick knack shops and eating at random restaurants just because they are there. We packed a cooler, blankets, extra clothing, the Frisbees, kites, and a shovel and made a day of it. We chose to go to Tierra Del Mar (just north of Pacific City) so we could drive out on to the beach and not have to haul our gear down from the parking lot. We also had the added advantage of using the truck as a wind break and putting Brennan down for his nap in his car seat.
Yes, so this was Brennan's first trip to the beach... first view of the ocean. By the end of the day we had come to several conclusions. 1) It is only infants and toddlers who find sand to be a delicacy. Brennan was a fan of the grit! 2) The ocean must be God's lullaby! Brennan spent most of the day in a relaxed daze. We were walking with our feet in the water for hours (it was a beautiful day at the beach!) and he was in limp noodle land. 3) The most exhausting day is the day in which you do nothing but relax and take in the scene. By yesterday evening we were all bumps on a log! Now can I have a weekend to recover from our weekend?
