30a Beach Trip

Joe had five days where he was off last week so we packed up and headed to the beach! My godmother lives on 30a so we had a free place to stay.

Of course we had to stop here for lunch...tradition!

We go there in the late afternoon but knew we needed to at least let Sally look at the beach. Of course she got soaking wet (and I did too!). 

The next day we were at the beach all day. The weather was PERFECT and the water was the prettiest I have ever seen it. There was hardly anyone at our beach.

Sally had so much fun playing in the sand and splashing in the water. Although she has already been to the beach 6 times, its fun to see her reaction each time. She is my little sea turtle...no fear of the water.

Joe had fun in the waves like usual and I even got a few moments to read my magazine.

I somehow forgot to apply sunscreen the first day and got totally fried...not good! For lunch we picked up peel and eat shrimp from our local market.

Each day was the same...wake up...go to the beach until late afternoon, come back and take showers and eat lunch and then nap. After nap we would wake up and get ready for dinner. We ate dinner out every night and tried to hit up a lot of our favorite spots.

We spent our days taking walks to the little lake that feeds into the ocean, catching crabs, watching dolphins in the water and making friends with the families next to us. It was so peaceful :)

We tried a new place for dinner one night..The Surf Hut. The location was fabulous and the food was good. Try it!

We took my godmother out with us and I loved our time together.

One night we even went and got ice cream. Sally kept asking us...wonder where she gets her sweet tooth from?

One day we tried stand up paddle boarding. It looks like it would be so easy...and maybe it would be on a lake, but in an ocean with waves going under the board it was hard. I sat on my knees and paddled out (that part was easy) but it was hard to stand up with the waves. I was especially scared to fall off since sharks had been spotted earlier in the day. It was rush though ;) I would love to try it again when the water is a little more calm. It was a great workout!

All in all, it was a fabulous and stress free trip...and we will be back soon!
