Who knew there was a beach just over an hour away?! We didn't and we've been here three years! Good thing the Sanderson's are pretty savvy about those things so we headed to Annapolis' sandy beach/bay for a day of swimming, eating, and lounging in the water. The water is somewhat murky because it's not just salt water. We have a little bay water to spruce things up and make it feel like a hot tub. It was the prefect temperature for the kids and I was pretty happy considering I always wear a wet suit on the West coast.
Sadie has never been much of a water baby. We tried to get her to like the ocean when we lived in San Diego but she wouldn't have those cold oceans for anything! She's still a little timid in the water but if she has her little green raft (Chase calls it the lily pad), she is absolutely fearless. She jumped right in that ocean and swam all the way out beyond the other people. We convinced Isaac (another timid seafarer) to try out Jack's pad and he and Sadie has a splendid time swimming with confidence.
Jack was a dream boat...of course! He just hung out in his little pool, threw pebbles in the water, swam and then zonked out in his stroller for about an hour. It took me getting a double Bob to figure out that my single actually reclines too. Who knew. He was sleeping in luxury out there. I love those chubby little toes:-)
As for Chase and me, in case you were wondering, we had a great time too. We're always happy if the kids are and that's usually the main goal these days...satisfying them:-) It was great hanging with the Sanderson's. Thanks for the great tip and fun day!!

Ah, this made me so excited to know there is a beach close by. I am sad to leave all of the NH beaches :) Looks like a great one! And congrats to Chase and you all for making it through the long law school adventure!
