Summer Vacation Begins

Today we headed to Mustang Island beach to kick off our summer vacation.  It is about two hours away.  I personally think the beach is great therapy.  What is better than sand, water, sun and the smell of the ocean breeze?  The seaweed was really deep today.  I have never seen a beach covered in seaweed like today.  However, that did not stop us from getting in the water and enjoying the beautiful day.  We had a picnic lunch and then got in the water or played in the sand.  Anna got to fly her kite and Andrew built a sand castle.  I love to watch the excitement and laughter on each of their faces when they play in the water and get knocked over by the waves.

 

See all the seaweed?

I am sure we will pay several visits to the beach this summer.  It is one of my favorite places to be at. We live close enough to go.
