Dear Lily,
We recently took you on your second trip to Ocean City, New Jersey (the last time we were there you were about 16 months old). It was a little early in the season to be visiting the beach but since your baby brother is scheduled to arrive in about a month, we had no choice but to go a little early. You didn't seem to mind the cool beach weather at all. We rented a beach house with Xander and his parents. We got some much needed rest and relaxation. You were enthralled by the ocean. Sometimes you would go out on the deck, sit in a chair, and just stare at the ocean.
You had no interest in putting your feet in the water (which was probably a good idea since it was super cold). You were hesitant to walk around on the sand because of those big waves coming toward you.
We set you up on a beach towel where you seemed most comfortable. You liked playing in the sand except you didn't want to get too sandy. Once again, you are just like Daddy.
Pointing at something on the beach:
You and Xander loved running around the deck. This was early one morning when you were running around in pajamas. You put your blanket around you and declared you were a princess!
We spent the morning at the boardwalk. You enjoyed the nickel arcades. You are still talking about that Clifford ride!
We celebrated Xander's birthday while we were at the beach. He decided to eat his birthday cake without any hands. You thought that was funny:
The last day at the shore we drove over to Atlantic City for lunch. We had to walk through a casino to get the restaurant. You were begging us to put $5 on red 2 but we told you that you are too young to gamble.
We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Every 15 minutes all the rainforest animals come to life and the lights flash. I was worried you would be frightened but you were not scared at all.
What a wonderful vacation. We can't wait take you again!
Love,
Mom
