Took Lexi on her very first beach trip today. We went to Corona Del Mar, just south of Newport Beach. It's a very family-friendly beach- really small waves, a short beach, and lots of kids. The water was FAH-REEZING, but Matt & I braved it and spent a little while bobbing in the waves. Lexi was scared of the water because it was so cold and didn't even want to put her feet in the shallow parts. She was content to just play in the sand for 3 hours... fine with me. I didn't realize what a production it is to go to the beach: blankets, towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler with food, sand toys, boogie board, sun screen, extra clothing, reading material etc. Don't think we'll be dragging all of that on the subway in NY...
