To the beach! and the beach!

Yes, you read correctly...it's January, the temperature is in the 20's F, snow was expected, and what did we do? We went to not one, but TWO beach towns! Now, there wasn't alot of playing in the sand going on, but we were able to amuse ourselves with indoor pools, shopping and visiting with a friend (Hi Calvin!).

Our first stop...Ocean City. It was a blustery cold, but good time - we can have fun at the beach anytime of the year, as illustrated by Maddie in her sweater just daring the snow covered dune to dampen her fun.


Of course, what helped make it fun was the Pool! Maddie LOVES the water, but unfortunately is lacking any body fat, so after 10 minutes in the water she starts shivering. At the same time is adamantly expressing just how NOT cold she is. We need to look for a toddler neoprene wetsuit...If anyone has suggestions please let us know!

I love this picture...Maddie giving Daddy a hug. With a Daddy that is 6'6", it will be a while before she can hug anything but his leg without assistance *grin*

Second stop...Virginia Beach! Never really been to VA beach before, we spent most of the time at the hotel with a real COOL lazy river pool and waterfalls.

Oh, but we did get out some....This is at the Virginia Beach Aquarium. Maddie is the little person in shadow on the bottom left of the picture.
