Day 10, Sunday:
This day was similar to the day before. It was a more traditional camping experience for us. We relaxed, we grilled out, we relaxed some more. Typically, we participate in state park programs and national park programs. We did none of that during our four days at the beach. In fact, I didn't make anyone do anything. After the Saturday boogie board extravaganza, (and well frankly our entire vacation up to this point was rushed and exhausting) I told the boys that they could relax as long as they wanted. They didn't even have to leave the camper. At about 2, when Transformers and Green Lantern had been watched thoroughly, they came out with their suits on and played in the ocean for 5 straight hours again.
This campsite was perfect for beach use. The area of beach we were at was really only accessible from campers in our loop, so it was never very crowded; which was perfect for us. Very relaxing. It was easy to walk back to the camper to get drinks, snacks, or whatever you forgot. In fact, we just picked up our assembled easy-up and brought it back and forth from the beach to the site. Why take it down when you just have to walk it a little bit?
This is one of the loops. I'm standing on the dune. It's pretty close to walk.
We saw the Ponies all the time! Our camper is in the background.
They just come right up.
We saw deer too. This is not big deal for us as we have white tailed deer often in our yard at home, but we still enjoyed these guys. They did not come near the sites like the ponies did.
Even though my daughter is only 6, I'm quite certain she'll remember this campground for the rest of her life!
Quite possibly my favorite picture from the vacation. We woke up to see the sunrise. My son just happened to be awake too so he came along with us.
What a phenomenal experience.
