Ultimate Sandbox

There's nothing like seeing a child's face when they first see the ocean. They don't notice the tranquility of the waves as they roll into the shore. They don't see the other families setting up camp with their umbrellas and blankets. They don't even care there are thousands of beautiful shells scattered along the beach. All they see is one gigantic sand box.

Woo hoo! Shovels and margarita buckets in hand, they storm the beach and start digging. Thanks to a bit of help from Mimi, Locke and Lola built several sand castles that rivaled the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Beautiful, temporary works of art.

We collected shells, swam, ate fresh fish and homemade ice cream. I can hardly wait for our next beach adventure.
