Beach trip

We loaded up two cars full of gear and headed to Atlantic Beach, NC on Saturday afternoon for a little weekend getaway. It was about a 45 minute ride - a little longer for the car that had to stop for Angela to eat. When we arrived the family surprised me with a big sign, presents and cake - they decided that I needed a belated 30th birthday celebration.
We ended up ordering take-out on Saturday night and had a low-key night in the condo playing cards and relaxing. Sunday morning we packed up and headed to the beach. Ang looked pretty cute in her swim suit (long sleeves to add extra protection from the sun) and beach hat.
We found a perfect beach spot and Ang camped out under an umbrella. It was hot out but there was a great ocean breeze that kept us very cool. The sound of the ocean was so relaxing and put Ang right to sleep.


After lunch we decided to check out the indoor swimming pool - it turned out to be HOT. I took Ang in for a quick dip but she was pretty much unimpressed. We all decided the beach was more fun and headed back to our umbrella for the rest of the afternoon.

Monday morning we packed up the condo and headed back to the beach for another day. Unfortunately we found that all the umbrellas had already been rented so we headed to Emerald Isle, NC and found public beach with umbrella rentals. Once again Ang seemed very relaxed with the ocean breeze and sound of waves!
