Spring Break at the Coast

We headed to the coast for a couple of days for Spring Break to play on the beach and to sightsee. First, we stopped off at a little lake to let Parker practice his swimming skills. It was his first time swimming, and the water was really, really cold. But I think he enjoyed himself.



Then we went to Florence, where the sand dunes meet the ocean. It's really neat to see people riding dirt bikes right onto the beaches. Parker absolutely loves the sand, he runs around like a crazy dog the whole time we're there. Now we realize that taking Owen places really limits the activities we can do. It was a little rainy and windy the second day, so we couldn't beach comb as much as would have liked to.




Later on, we went to dinner in Newport at this nice beachside restaurant. We watched the sun set as we were eating, it was very pretty and romantic. Overall, it was a great little vacation from the norm.

I got shafted and don't get a spring break. So, we didn't get to do anything fun. I'm a little jealous of you guys.

Your pictures make me want to move back up there, until I remember that you took a picture of the one sunny day in the last month.

Stay dry,

Chris

Two thumbs up for Kristen! I would not have dared to throw my puppy off the edge and dunk my baby no matter how much Robert encouraged me to do so. I'm too much of a worrier. Way to go. And that Owen is quite the looker.
