Went to the beach w/ the kids today. What a gorgeous day, 85 degrees and lightly breezy. We got there around 10:15 and it was already hopping. I remember the days that I would get there at 10 and be by myself until noon. Those days are no longer, at least on Fridays, it seems. Even though it was busy the kids had a great time and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's great that we have a lake so close that is free to swim in and a good place for the younger crowd. They even have paddle boats to rent for $5/30 min. A snack bar, toilets, and showers make it even better for a visit. The water doesn't get very deep until you are pretty far out so you don't have to worry about the toddler/preschooler as much. We drove over in the Jeep w/ the top down. It doesn't get much better than this! (Okay so a margarita would have made it a tiny bit better!) :)
