Beach Bum

So one of the sure things about when Grammie Merkel visits us is our trips to the beach. She is a true at heart beach bum. I'm sure its where the boys get their love of the sand and ocean.

Jeff and I tend to slide into that lazy "let's have a relaxing weekend'...every weekend we can. And a trip to the beach (especially now from Palo Alto) is a little bit of a trek. ...really its only like a 45 minute drive....but still...its enough to keep us from going very often.

So we took Grammie Merkel for her beach fix...and of course had a great time!

and for these Merkel boys...a trip to the beach is ALL about the digging and throwing of sand!

Check out Max's fistfuls of sand...NOT AT MOMMY please:)



Grammie Merkel's back to visit in September...so we'll be sure to hit the beach again!
