We left about 7am and didn't have too much traffic to deal with. It was a really fun little beach town! We arrived around 10:30 and immediately went to find some brunch. We settled on the Penguin Diner. It looked like a fun place, but the wait was crazy! We were there forever and the food was only ok. Probably won't go there again.
After breakfast/lunch we headed down to the beach. There were a ton more people on the sand than I'm used to. Lots of umbrellas and people set up for a long, full day by the ocean. We found ourselves a spot and set up our chairs and toys before hitting the surf. What a pleasant surprise. The water was really nice to be in. We spent a long time playing in the waves. Chris even took the girls further out to swim and ride waves in. The water did seem much saltier than we are used to, but I will take that over arctic temperatures any day!
After playing in the water we would spend some time building sandcastles and turning the kids into mermaids. It was pretty hot, but taking breaks to go for a dip made it fun. We ended up playing in the water a few times before drying off and heading back into the town. We found an ice cream place and enjoyed walking down the boardwalk. Even tried to snag a family selfie.
Then it was back on the road for the 3 hour trip home. We stopped along the way for chicken nuggets and called it a night.
The next day we set off again. This time it was to DC. We walked through a couple of museums before breaking out our picnic lunch. We ate on the grass on the Mall. It was a pretty hot and humid day. We decided to walk up to the Washington Monument to see it up close. It was really BIG. Those individual stones are huge! I can't wait until we can get tickets to up to the top.
It was a fun weekend for sure! Happy Labor Day everyone! School starts tomorrow. Back to the grind. :)
