15 years. That is how long my hubby and I have been married. Both of us are all about our children. And truth be told, if my hubby could physically have the children, we'd have 10 kids by now. We aren't the couple that plans vacations without the kids. We are the ones that bring the kids with us EVERYWHERE. So in due fashion, we took the kids to the beach to celebrate our 15 years together.
This was the first time that babygirl had been to the beach ever and littlesoldier boy's first time this year. It started out as a great family outing. We beat the estimated time that GPS had us arriving (I always love that, and take on the challenge). We found free parking 3 blocks from the boardwalk.
We did the walk the entire boardwalk from start to finish before deciding to grab something to eat. The options are always so tempting. I try my best to make smart decisions. I hate to undo in one meal what took weeks to burn off. Littlesoldier boy went for the tacos, I the turkey burger, and hubby an Italian wrap. A large fry to share and two sodas for them. Total, $40. I guess for shore prices, not too bad.
After lunch, we headed for the beach. Babygirl was loving the sand. And littlesoldierboy was loving the water. Hubby took babygirl to put her feet in the water when his back went out. Not good. Needless to say, it was a chore to get him off that beach. He couldn't stand, couldn't walk, and neither littlesoldierboy nor I could carry him. It took nearly an hour, 4 extra strength tylenols, and the baby stroller acting as a walker to get him onto the boardwalk.
We took a very slow trip back down the boardwalk, let littlesoldierboy play in the arcade for a bit, and then headed home. Even though it didn't go exactly as planned (but does it ever?), we both enjoyed spending our day with the family, the sun, and the shore.
Happy Anniversary Hubby! Here's to another 15 years =)
