Our first trip to the beach!

The one great thing about living in Hampton Roads is we have easy access to the beaches. We have several options when it comes to beaches and today we picked the beach closest to the house in Ocean View. After Sam had a fantastic 2 hour nap, we loaded up the wagon and the car with all the beach essentials. He had a great time playing in the sand with his buckets and shovels. Once he figured out that sand was not good to eat, things got a lot better. He had a heck of a time with his hat as he would take it off every time I put it on, go figure. Mommy and Sam ventured down to the surf and Sam got his first dip in the Chesapeake Bay. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but he got right in and had a great time. I am sure that he will have much fun this summer on our beach trips! The good thing about 2 1/2 hours at the beach....bedtime was cake!
