First beach trip of 2006

Our aim was to have a calm, quiet day, but if we get a nap after lunch we're always looking for a little adventure. So today we put Mia in the car and drove out to the beach. Nano and Bomp were out at their vacation house so we were able to leave Mia with them for 45 minutes while Thomas and I went and cooled off in the ocean. It was the perfect time of the day: no one was there, the water was warm, and the sun wasn't too strong. There was even a young couple next to us on the beach with their 4 month-old baby decked out in sunglasses, hat, beach chair, wind shield and parasol. For the moment I'd rather leave Mia with her Nano.
