What To Do On a Rainy Saturday?

Go to the beach of course!  We live near many different beaches, but rarely spend time there. Sad, I know, but I just seem to forget about the beach since most of the time our weather is cold, gray, and rainy. Not exactly beach weather.  But this weekend we were staying at my in-laws, while my dear sweet husband sanded and refinished the stairs in our house. It was a huge mess, and of course ended up taking longer then planned, but the end result is beautiful!

My mother-in-law has an amazing house, it could be on the cover of Country Living it is so nice. But that does not mean it is a good place for 3 very active boys.  Too many things could break (and have been broken) that I try to limit our time inside the house.  By Saturday afternoon we needed to do something, it was muggy and spitting rain, but not cold. So, I suggested the beach. And do you know what my boys said?

OH YEAH!  And so we were off. I grabbed my raincoat and an extra hot mocha, the boys choose sweatshirts and no shoes.

They were happy, I was happy, and it killed time until dinner.  I consider that a very successful trip to the beach!
