Ever since we have arrived in Florida Nathan has been talking about going to the Atlantic ocean. Growing up his family went to the Jersey Shore every summer and he has fond memories of the waves. So after a late night watching fireworks in Lakeland on July 3rd (younger Nathan and Ella did not like them, probably because they were exploding less than 50 yards from us) we headed to Vero Beach south of Cocoa and Daytona Beach. We went with our friends the Donaldsons and their five kids. It was great fun. The waves were not huge but had a very strong surge and pull verses the Gulf. It also is a colder ocean and cooler on the beach. You can tell it is a bigger ocean than the Gulf. So daddy taught the boys and Grace how to ride the waves. We played in the sand and enjoyed our friends. We arrived home at midnight. It took me all weekend to recover. I ended up getting sick on Thursday middle of the night with a bad sore throat and cold. Maybe because of all the activities and busyness but most likely I caught whatever Grace had. So I got to stay in bed for the weekend. But I am not complaining believe me, even if I am feeling terrible a weekend in bed having daddy taking care of the household and the kids is still a break.
