Beach Day

Yesterday, Nick had the day off of work so we decided to spend our afternoon and evening at the beach. Some of my friends mentioned that baby beach in Dana Point would be a great spot to take Nicole. They were right! It was on the other side of Ortega Highway (The good thing about that: No 91 freeway traffic!!! The bad thing about that: Nicole got VERY carsick....Yuck!!!) so the drive was very pretty and traffic free. The area has free parking, a grassy area for picnics with a TON of shade trees, and there are no waves. It was the perfect spot for our afternoon.

She loved feeling the sand around her toes!

Nick was given a little peddleboat, so he took it out for a test ride. It worked well at splashing him when he peddled.

After losing her lunch on the ride over, Nicole ate chips and watermelon the entire time (oh, and she ate my turkey sandwich for dinner, so I got to eat a pb&j...)

She LOVED the water! She also loved being able to chase birds.

Thankfully, she slept the entire drive home. :)
