The Shore


The annual trip to the Ocean City, NJ. Have to say, it consistently ranks at the top of our list of places to visit. Yes, there are the obvious reasons (family, Mack and Manco Pizza, etc.) …But this time, it was different. It was LB’s turn to taste the salt air and splash in the hurricane charged waves. Looking back on the weekend, I can say that I was nervous at first; worrying that she wouldn’t enjoy the beach as much as I do. Well surprise, surprise- the beach gene was successfully inherited!

Whether it was showing off in her new pool (picture above), or parading down the beach in her bikini, she took to the sand and sun like C.J Parker à la Baywatch (please note- this will be the first and last comparison to Pam Anderson). Anyway, the highlight of the beach visits had to be the ocean swims. 70 degree water - no problem. Rip tide- felt like a ripple to LB. If not for naptime and mealtime, our little tadpole would have splashed till the life guards blew the whistle for excessive celebration.

Throw in a ballgame (Gload walk-off), a Philly Fanatic pillow (thanks Yvonne) and a 1 year birthday celebration; you have the makings of not only a great trip for Mom and Dad, but some terrific memories for our liberty Belle.

I am so glad everyone enjoyed themselves. We loved the visit and hope that next year you can stay a little longer. Yes, she is defiantly a Golia beach baby, born to have sand between her toes, make sand castles at the waters edge, find sand crabs to tickle her little hand, and ride waves on a boogie board! Fun in the sun! Love to all Mom Mom & Pop Pop
