Beach Bum

When I lived in Virginia Beach, I loved summer because it meant spending my days lounging on the beach. I was a beach bum and I was okay with that.

I've been home for over a month now and today was the first time I went to the beach. I've been dying to take Grace, but I was intimidated by the logistics of bringing a 5 month old. Babies require a LOT of stuff and I wasn't sure if I could carry her and all the stuff I needed for the outing.

Thankfully my brothers and my dear friend Glenda agreed to go with me and help me lug all the stuff. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. And other than a couple incidents with chasing the beach umbrella that fell over and blew away, our beach day went very smoothly.

Glenda and I have declared Wednesdays our beach day until I have to leave in August.

She wasn't too sure about the water.





But she warmed up to it eventually.

This happened a couple times. Thank goodness Josh was a good umbrella catcher when it blew down the beach.
