I kind of tricked you...it's not really a journey, more like a jaunt. Here is what we did on Saturday.
Once upon a time we lived in Connecticut and it was Spring, but not really. One day, it got up in the 50's so we threw off our coats and ran outside. We decided to go to the beach so that the girls could really play and dig in the sand and sit by the ocean and really have fun. It started out sunny but somewhere between our house and the beach, the fog rolled in...and then the temperature dropped 10 degrees. We played for a while. Haley got her shoes wet. I kinda knew that would happen. I also knew that they would get horribly sandy...but we are coming to terms with that because we really like the beach.
We like this particular beach right now because
A) It's free until May
B) There is a park just up the hill from the beach so the view is always amazing and
C) Lots of "more mature citizens" like to drive their cars there to park in front of the beach and fall asleep with their heads back and their mouths open.
The wind picked up. We gathered our things and went home. But not before I took a picture of a goldfish stuck to Hazel's snot. That was funny.

This was the temperature by the time we got home...blasted wind.
What could be a better snack for the shore, than fishy crackers?
When we got home I sat in the driveway and stared into my rear view mirror and felt happy.The End

how fun to go to a beach to dig in the sand. That would be so much fun!! Glad you had a good day!
How fun! If those temps keep up, you need a trip to good old Phoenix, AZ. I won't tell you what the temp was today.
still...i think i would trade my nice weather here now for your summer--oh how you will love your summer! That rearview mirror makes me happy too:)
What a coincidence, our car registered the temp at 47 degrees here in Houston. Looks like you had a great day at the beach!
That looks very ... cold. It is killing me to look at the beach every day and not be able to go bask in the sun yet.
Love the goldfish, maybe I should try that with the Matthew- he has the snot for it.
What a good mom. Knowing it was chilly and sandy and wet and going anyway. Love you.
What a great story with a happy ending. Good going!
Ahhhh, a day at the beach. I need one of those. Thanks for sharing a happy memory so I can live vicariously.
Do you ever look in the rear view mirror and think, "Are all of those mine?" What cuties.
aaww so fun! i love cloudy cold and stormy days and especially cute girlies!! :)
I love that rear view mirror picture. I wished I loved the beach with the same passion. Too sticky for me.
You inspire me to get out and do more. That looks like fun memories, especially the fishy cracker stuck in the snot. Classic family fave picture. It sounds like your visit with Spencer and Sho was fun too. I love the groovy eye makeup shot!
Oh, how fun! I felt happy looking in your rear view mirror as well. I wish we could have gone to the beach and eaten crackers with you. We could use a beach day...even a windy one.
The word Beach sounds so lovely. But the picture of that beach looks SO cold and dreary. Almost like you're in Connecticut or something. I am beginning to think spring is a dreadful season.
