Me and my family got back from a week at the beach. It was nice to be someplace else for a change and I can say that I really did enjoy myself. The first half of the week was cold but it really turned around at the end. My husband planned the trip so that we would be there on our 5Th anniversary. It was so nice to wake up look out the window and see the ocean. One thing that surprised us was the fact that we saw someone that looked like Santa Clause. We have seen him there before and we spoke to him this time and he had several pictures of himself and Mrs Clause. During Christmas time he decorates his home (and himself) and so does his wife. I guess you could say he is Santa to a degree. My little girl did not say much she is still in the shy stage when it comes to Santa Clause. If we see him again I'm sure she might want to take her picture with him I suppose time will tell.
One thing that we really enjoyed was building sand castles. I never did that as a kid growing up and now that I have a child of my own I can do it now. I am usually doing it when my husband is combing the shore looking for sharks teeth. Yes I said sharks teeth. As I was looking along the shore with my daughter for shells to decorate a sandcastle she found one. I showed my husband and I think he was so proud. He taught me how to look for them and and that was something he wanted out child to learn how to do. I am glad that she found them. It is something that we have passed on to her, and isn't that what parents are suppose to do, pass things to their children.
