We went to 27th Avenue Beach in New Smyrna Beach, about an hour from us.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
After weeks of just sitting around indoors or running errands, we were excited for a day of fun in the sun!
The tide was pretty high and we had lots of fun splashing and getting tossed around in the waves.
This is definitely the coolest beach I've been to. The beaches in Mississippi were dirty and boring. The beach in Mexico was just boring, and the water even a little dirty. But the water here is so active and provides a great time! Volusia County does a good job of keeping the beaches safe and clean. I had a little bit of a scare...got knocked down by the waves and sucked in for a minute, but I think I was just extra spooked because I didn't have my ear plug and wasn't supposed to go under. Oops, I'll be sure to bring that next time.
After the ocean, we stopped at a small ice cream place in town. Then we went home, ate some homemade burritos, and watched "Finding Nemo." We got a little sunburned in random places, but nothing terrible. Lesson learned: spray sunscreen should be applied inside, away from wind. All in all, it was a great day!
