Jon & I took Emma, TJ, & Mikayla to the beach today. Karen stayed home so she could get some homework done in peace. The beach areas were pretty crowded (no surprise - it WAS a June Saturday) but we eventually found parking and a nice spot right by the pier to set up. The waves were really strong but a lot of fun. Mikayla was out there boogie boarding and Emma really wanted to join her, but was still a bit skittish, which is fine by me. So she "rode" the waves right at the shore and splashed in the surf. Mikayla also buried both the kids in the sand up to their necks, which they thought was too too funny. I brought a tasty lunch and plenty of snacks for everyone and we just had a great time! Dinner, however, was another story... We went from traffic to traffic to an overcrowded bar we thought was supposed to be a restaurant to a pizza place that only took cash (which I didn't have) to mapquest giving me incorrect directions to (finally) eating at... wait for it... Jack in the Box. Yep. Fancy, schmancy, huh? Oh well, the kids were happy, everyone filled their bellies, and it was probably cheaper than any of the earlier options. In the end, it all worked out.
