A Day at the Beach

The day after Travis and Mary's wedding, we decided we were going to spend some time on the beach. Lorne had to work for part of the day so in the morning after breakfast, we headed off to the beach to give him some peace and quiet.We have been having quite the heat wave here on the East coast and it was a super hot day. It was nice enough to swim in Atlantic waters - and that is rare this far north.
We rented a beach umbrella and played for a while. Jasmine was terrified of the water even when we promised to keep her safe. She wouldn't put more than her feet in the water. Ava on the other hand, was fearless. She loved having the waves wash up on her legs and she giggled every time a wave came.After a few hours, we headed back to the hotel and ate lunch and waited for Lorne to be able to come out and play. He came out with us again to the beach that afternoon and we had a great time.Unfortunately, after an hour of beach play, a storm rolled in and they cleared the beach because there was lightning. We decided to stroll the boardwalk and see what there was to see. We found some amazing gelato, a great candy store stocked with delicious fudge and a little amusement park.We let the girls ride a few rides and we played a few games and by that time it was time to find dinner. We found a restaurant called the Rusty Rudder so we ate there - in keeping with the whole beach theme!
