We took a vacation to visit Great Grandma this summer and the beach was a great bonus. We had such a wonderful time visiting with her and playing at her house. The kids had a great time at the beach for a few hours every day too. Here are some of the photos from the first day. We traveled for 2 long days to get there and a short 30 minutes after we got out of the car, we were back in it clothed in swimsuits, armed with toys and walking out on to the sandy beaches of Topsail Island.

Gini was apprehensive at first but learned to love riding the waves.
