We searched and searched for the opening to the beach when we saw 2 trucks driving down a dirt road to the beach, so we watched them to make sure it was safe and everything looked good from the hwy so off we went 1/2 way is when we discovered that not only was it not a paved road, There was deep trenchs and small ponds in this "road",then it opened up to deep soft sand!
I floored it and swerved the "minivan" to the firmer ground on the beach, Whew,
The water was perfect crystal clear and blue with a soft sand bottom and very warm,the kids built sand castles and we threw the fribie around the beach apparently the beach that we "stumbled on" was a private beach which was great until we needed to leave.
We searched for a easier way out but there was sand everywhere (Only trucks were on the beach....save one minivan) I ended up needing a tow out of the deep sand and having to wait until someone with the combination to the gate arrived to let us out.....
Hawke had a blast and collected about 5000 tiny shells
When we got back to the hotel we bar b qued and swam and played tag in the hallway. I had a few cocktails and went to pick up the frisbie that fell in the shallow end of the pool and did a slip and fall in the pool that would have made any slapstick comedian proud :)
Cicily is so big it seems like yesterday she was wearing a diaper
Theresa was a great helper with the shells
