1. If you pass through a downpour on the way to the beach, don't be dismayed, that doesn't mean it is raining on the beach, even if you see gray clouds surrounding you.
2. A trip to the aquarium on the way is not a necessity, unless your are Chris or Derek.
3. The water is not always warm, but burying yourself in the sand is.
4. Boogie boarding is fun for all ages.
5. Pack lots of sunscreen (which we did, not sure why we are so red!)
6. Sand, sand everywhere! Taking cold showers involves lots of complaining and screaming.
7. A personal role of toilet paper is handy.
8. For passengers who like to vomit in the car after a nice day at the beach, please keep it confined to dirtying one item. (We initiated our leather seats)
9. Kite flying is amazingly relaxing.
10. Wireless DVD headphones on a road trip are a luxury for all parties.
Happy Memorial Day!

SO FUN! What a great Memorial Day!
to avoid taking cold showers to get rid of sand bring baby powder and it will make the sand fall right off. It makes diaper changing at the beach doable. Everyone will look a little pasty going home but the car and kids will not be as full of sand!
oh and one more thing. Baby powder is also great for when kids get sand in their eyes. Rub it on your hands and then rub up their face with it and the sand falls away and not it the eyes. It is a real life saver!
Your family is absolutely adorable. Happy Memorial Day!
