North Carolina Part 7: The Beach


So the beach was our favorite stop. The kids wanted to go back the next day. It was cold and windy. But that did not stop anyone from having fun. The benefit of the storm the day before was that it was good shell searching. Some nice man gave us a whole sand dollar about 4 inches across (we later figured out it was still alive and had to kill it and treat it from home), and Paul stepped on two whole lightning whelk shells while in the frigid water. We also found cockle shells, several jingles, pen shells, clams and several types of scallops.

Ashlyn loved the ocean. She would run up to the waves, scream and laugh and run away as they rolled in and lapped around her feet.
I will tell you, when we got there, it was windy and quote cold. Only Nick and Paul were lunatic enough to go into the water. Wierdos.
