Introduction to the Ocean

Does it make me a bad parent if my child is two years old and hadn't ever been to the ocean? Now, I did take her to the Dominican Republic, Miami, and even the Outer Banks in North Carolina but she technically wasn't born yet. We remedied this by taking a trip to Santa Barbara to visit Lane's brother Ian and his wonderful family. Our first stop with them was a day at the beach. Gabriela did what any other outgoing two year old would have done when she saw the ocean - introduce herself. 

"Hi, Ocean.  I Gabi-lah-lah"

She got busy right away digging holes, hanging out in them, playing in the sand, chasing birds, putting her toes in the water, relaxing and having snacks, building sand castles (or destroying the ones Mommy built for her) and just having a wonderful time.

We were lucky too, it was sunny and warm at the beach.
