We arrived at about 10:00 Friday night, and snagged what looked like one of the last spots. We were sandwiched in between a couple of partiers, but the kids were so tired that not even Linkin Park blaring until 1:30 a.m. could keep them from falling asleep (thank goodness.)
After a yummy breakfast of hot cocoa, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, we headed down to the beach. It was beautiful upon first sight!
Is that the Lochness Monster!!?? Oh wait, it's just Ashlee...
Determined to outrun the wave.
Forrest thought he'd call my bluff when I told him I was going to get in, but he was wrong! I have always loved playing in the ocean since I was a kid, and it was just as much fun this time around. We had to dodge a few huge jelly fish that we spotted coming towards us in the waves, and I knocked Ashlee over a couple of times because she insisted on standing right behind me as the waves were coming, but other than that it was a good time. I'd forgotten how painful it was to be drug across the sand, though! The ocean is so therapeutic. It was like a natural mineral bath, seaweed treatment, and microdermabrasion all in one. You pay big bucks for that stuff at the spa!
This sight was amazing. There were hundreds of birds gliding over the water, swooping and diving. They must have been following a school of fish.
Forrest had fun watching us from the beach and taking pictures. He didn't get in the water, though.

A cozy bed for 6. We had really nice air mattresses and sleeping bags and slept surprisingly warm.

Roasting marshmallows for S'mores at the end of the day. Good bye Dillon's Beach, you were good to us!
Your trip looks like it was so much fun-and the sky was so nice and blue for you! I like the picture of you and Kaitlyn headed down the dunes to the water:-) Camping is so great for kids to experience-Yeah for you guys! Can't wait to hear more about it.
