We were able to do minor updates and renovations which will prove beneficial and convenient to all who use the space. We've also had so much fun and enjoyed each other's company tremendously. Some friends have come over to spend time with us and enjoy the beach, but mostly we enjoyed spending time together. We wake up leisurely in the morning, have breakfast and make beds, etc. Then we pack up our "Wonder Wheeler" with towel, coolers, boogie boards, and anything else we might need that day and head to the beach. On the weekends, when family and/or friends come over, we take the 12 x 12 pop up canopy and set it up with all the comforts of home. The only thing we are missing is a bathroom and a/c. During the week, there are plenty of umbrellas to go around so we grab some beach chairs and an umbrella or two, and lay by the ocean to read. That is one of my favorite things. The children read for awhile and then go in the ocean to swim, play catch, ride waves on boogie boards, catch fish with their nets, or anything else they can think of.
We stay out for hours. We take lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. We go back to the condo around 5 p.m. for a little bit, we have dinner and then we go back for our evening walk and kickball or soccer game on the beach.
Since the sun sets so late we stay out for 1 to 2 hours. Afterwards we head back, take showers and then spend the evening playing board games.
As simple as this vacation has been, I'm sure we will remember this summer fondly. I look forward to many more summers of enjoying the beach and our condo with my family.
