Beach Days

We had a wonderful and eventful weekend...we are under contract to sell our house! This economy is anything but a sellers market and Ross and I had decided we would prefer to sell our house rather than be landlords. Either way was a lose situation for us and the unpredictability of renters (upkeep of house, paying their rent, finding renters, etc.) was not something we relished. It turns out that Lucas's room was the number one selling point for them - they have a 5 week old son and have similar themed nursery decor. In some ways I am secretly glad his room will remain the same but jealous some other little boy will get to enjoy it. Oh well! Time to move on...Now we can truly enjoy our last month and a half in the coastal carolinas doing what we should be doing...going to the beach!

We have a pop-up sun tent with spf 50 fabric for Lucas and we were surprised at how long he stayed inside playing with his toys and the towel. When he finally decided to venture out and he touched the sand for the first time the look on his face was priceless. He had a great time playing and crawling in the sand. I think we will have many more fun beach trips ahead of us but we may be leaving each time much sandier than we did before :) Any ideas about how to prevent sand burn from him crawling on the sand....or rug burn for that matter?
