today we set off to jacksonville. 3 girls, lots of toys in an effort to keep the Lenabean entertained, some chickfila in our bellies, and manymany stops.
oh, and one backtrack by a few exits to make sure we got a starbucks fix.
10 hours later we arrived. it was dark, right after sunset, but our first stop was the ocean.
because when you have a two year old in the back seat who has said all day “i go to ocean” how can you tell her its really going to be tomorrow.
so we found a little access to the beach, parked illegally, and made our way in the dark across a small boardwalk.

Lena hit the sand, teetered on it, and held up her hand to her ear and went “what that sound” in amazement.
her last trip to the ocean was at 10 weeks old so this was her first “real” trip, one that she can react to.
With Mr. Moon big and bright, a beautiful breeze and not a cloud in the sky we ran to see the waves
and even found a few shells:)
it was a good day.
