William at the beach

We're back from our big family vacation to Holden Beach!

We had a really wonderful time. Each summer, David's family meets up with two other families in Holden Beach, North Carolina. I went for the first time last year, so this was my second trip. Obviously, this was William's first time, and we were so excited to take him to the beach. He is the first member of his generation to go, although he will be joined next year by his future playmate, Alethea and Glen's baby son.



David and I had long looked forward to taking William down to the ocean. He's too young to wear sunscreen, so we waited until the sun began to set. (During the days, he hung out with his Grandaddy Aaron up in the beach house. More on that later.)


At the tender age of 3.5 months, William has now seen two oceans. He has strolled along the shore of the Pacific in San Diego and dipped his feet in the warmer waters of the Atlantic off the coast of North Carolina. Not bad for someone so young, eh? I don't think I had seen both oceans in person until I was an adult! He wasn't too sure what to think of the water lapping up against his feet. He seemed more interested in watching the waves and listening to them crash on the sand.

Here are some more photos that we took of William, experiencing the beach in person for the first time.
