We spent a brief morning swimming at Jacksonville Beach before jumping in the car to drive to North Carolina and then home. The plan was to enjoy it as a family, but unfortunately Mike needed to take the van for a little brake work. So I took the four kids down to the beach for the morning.
This hotel also had a pool and I asked the kids if they would rather swim in the pool or on the beach. I was hoping for the pool because I wasn't looking forward to cleaning sand off four kids. But unanimously everyone wanted to go to the beach.
Due to the early hour {before 9 am} we had shadow people on the beach.

A little too far to walk with the kids, but I would have loved to go down there.

Ava was skipping around and around and around.
I have to say I felt a little like super mom this morning. While Mike was at the car shop, I took all four to the beach. Then we came back up to the hotel room where I gave everyone showers and packed up the hotel room, BY MYSELF. Although, as I pointed out to Mike it's not the first time I've packed up a hotel room by myself *ahem* jay and tiff's wedding.
We also drove by our old house. The trees are so overgrown, it looks like the swamp is taking over!
The pictures are perfect and will last a lifetime. Meme
