Jax Beach Jubilation:
Oddly enough, the first beach we hit this season was not the one closest to us. Clay had some business across town- (okay, it was a golf tournament.) Tee off was early the next morning, so we grabbed some SmashBurgers (the Sunshine Burger is my favorite) and a room near the shore. Those of us who did not bring our clubs (or everyone except Clay & Chandler) spent the afternoon on Jax Beach while the big boys went to the driving range.
This was one of our first really pretty days- the sand was warm, the water- no so much.
Not everyone is deterred by cool water. Rye was escorted to the water's edge by each of us in turn. With Sister:
And Fisher- (she calls him her prince):
Lifeguards were training for the oncoming summer season. I think this lesson must have been "People Watching 101" or a "Rogue Surfer Roundup" drill:
No shovel or pail but plenty of sand and teamwork for castle building:
We even spotted a mermaid:
The best part of a day filled with sand and wind and sun? Bedtime, of course. After a quick bite to eat, Clay took TheBigs to the pool while I de-salted and de-sanded HalfPint.
She was asleep before her hair was dry, but I kept the air flowing a little longer just to be certain the 'return to room' noise didn't wake her.
Home or Away, the child has a knack for occupying an entire bed with her tiny frame.
