Beach Blog 2010: Day 1

Well, we're here at the beach! This year, we got a rental on the bay in Sea Isle City, NJ for the week. The property is very nice - not a bad choice for just viewing some pictures over the Internet. The view from the decks is amazing - a nice view of the bay, the salt marshes, and the intracoastal waterway right outside. We can watch all of the boats sailing by. We have a dock... so we might rent a boat later in the week. We're also close to the downtown area with lots of restaurants and the boardwalk. And only a 4 block walk to the beach. But because of our rental's nice spot on the bay, we might just hang out here on the decks and swim in the bay!

It was a very warm day when we got here. So, we unloaded the car and just hung out on the deck for a while. But as the sun started to go down, we took Owen for a little walk around town. And we stopped by the beach to take Owen down to the ocean for the first time. We stuck his feet in the water. He was very interested by the waves!

The sunset from our deck was beautiful, which made us ask why haven't we stayed on the bay before? After the kids went down to bed, we had a nice evening sitting out on the deck on a warm Saturday night (low in the 70s). We watched a lot of boats and a few booze cruises float by and listened to a little music, but were pretty exhausted after a long day of getting down to the beach and settling in. But we have a nice week ahead of us!
