We were so excited to take you to the beach. Even though we only live a short drive away from the ocean, we wanted to wait to take you to the same place where mommy met daddy. You were so cute in your tiny swimsuit. You loved dipping your toes in the water and watching the waves swirl around. Every day we went for walks along the beach and then you napped under the umbrella.
The beach is our special spot...
Your dad and I both moved to the beach not knowing a soul. We were both looking for adventure and ourselves. Your dad trained me to be an ocean lifeguard and we spent three days together talking, talking, talking and on the last day, your dad asked me what I was doing that night and to give him a call. I almost forgot, but good thing I remembered, your dad showed up right away and that was the beginning of the rest of our lives.
We spent a lot of summers walking out on the beach first thing in the morning and working until the evening. We learned all about tides, marine life, hard work, people and love. The beach is our special spot and even now when things get tough, we drive out to the beach and let the water wash away our worries.
When looking for a place to live, we knew we had to be by the ocean. Once you have lived by the beach, you can't imagine living without it. We wanted it for us and we wanted it for you. Every weekend is a vacation. You are one lucky girl, your life will be full of sandcastles, sun, boats, waves, and dolphins.
Lots of posts today- yay! And all so good... man I wish we lived at least semi-close to a beach. A life full of sandcastles sounds so dreamy!!
