Day 425-426: A Little Vitamin Sea

Saturday, we took a little day trip to the beach. We have it down to a bit of a science. We leave early so we are there by 10ish. This time, that was almost not early enough! We got one of the very last parking spaces at our favorite free, national park access site. We now take just a few beach toys: a bucket, a few shovels, Ogosport, and boogie boards. We pack a picnic lunch, beach towels, and a change of clothes. We travel in our suits so we can go straight to the water. And Saturday, the water did not disappoint:

The water was chilly when you got in but nice after a few minutes, and it's not at all deep here:

The breeze was cool and perfect:

After lunch and few hours in the water, we drive the five minutes down the road to the aquarium. It was so nice to be back for the first time in nearly two years. And...they have a new otter habitat:

We loved watching them!

We also love the jellyfish:

The aquarium has made a lot of changes and is still not all the way open. but we loved our time there:

 

We are home by dinner. We did invest in a sun tent and beach chairs, which should arrive Saturday. We already have days trips on the calendar every month this summer because sometimes all you need is a little Vitamin Sea.
