We decided to take a break from Disney and make a day trip to Daytona Beach Shores. How lovely. It turned out to be a beautiful day. I will admit, though, any day at the beach is a good day in my book. :)
We all slept in on Wednesday morning. It was wonderful. We packed up and left our hotel around 11:00. The drive was just about an hour. On the way there, Amelia said, "Mom, did you pack my swimsuit?"
"Ummm...no...I asked you to put it on before we left." Tearing up, she replied, "Well, I forgot. I thought you were going to get it." Being the mean mom that I am, I let her sit there and chew on the idea that we were going to the beach and she didn't have a suit.
The pouty lip appeared with this tearful question, "Do you think we can go back to the beach another day?"
Of course, we stopped and picked up a new suit which totally made her day.
The kids and Josh spent a lot of time doing this...
...and they made a sand castle...
...and Josh filled his Tinkerbell bucket over and over and over again...
...and everyone worked together on that sand castle...
...and Meredith was having the time of her life (other than when salt water got into her mouth...welcome to the ocean, girls!!)...
Amelia was pretending to be a crab...
...because we caught one.
The finished product.
The beach was amazing. The girls loved collecting shells and playing in the water. We walked up and down the beach and just had a wonderful time!
We ate dinner at a great little pizza place called Panheads Pizza. I had read reviews online, and it did not disappoint. We ordered wings as an appetizer, and they were some of the best we've ever had. Our waitress was great, and we received a really nice comment on our "beautiful family" and "well-behaved children" from another table of guests...warmed my heart. :)
It was a great break in the middle of the week, and I would definitely do this again!
