There’s something about kids & beaches. My daughter has a whale of a time running about and splashing in the waves. Hearing her shrieks of laughter and seeing the twinkle in her eyes makes all the trouble of hauling oneself there and enduring the crowds, worth it.

The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is interrupting the passionate kissing of the couples as we walk past them. Someday, my daughter is going to ask me what these people are doing….. and I’ll have to get an answer ready. Boy ! The perils of parenthood !!
