Beach Day

Sunday morning, we got up and decided we needed a family day at the beach!  So, we headed to Atlantic Beach just us.  It was so nice to get away as a family.  This was Matthew's first day at the beach this year and really his first ever.  We went last year but he was too young to appreciate it.  And of course yesterday I forgot my camera.  So no pics to share!  Oh well, I will NOT forget it next time.
We stopped to use the bathroom at KFC in Morehead and Wright see's Mike & Heidi Pridgen at the light and so he calls him to let him know we saw them and they asked us to come to their condo.  So, we ate at El's Drive-in and then went to their place.  They have a really nice condo at a great place.  Beautiful pool area and right on the beach.  Emma loved to get to play with Lillie.
The beach was wonderful, not too hot and a nice breeze.  Matthew LOVED it.  He just played with buckets, sand and shells.  He was in heaven.  Heidi fished and caught a little stingray so the kids got to see it before Mike threw it back in the water.  We spent about 2 or 3 hours on the beach.  Then we had to head home, since it was a Sunday.  But we really enjoyed it.  It was one of the most relaxing days I've had in a long time.  And to make it all even better, Matthew slept all the way there and most of the way home!  You can't get better than that!!!
