Litchfield Beach

The beach. (In Maine when people say they are going to 'the beach' they are usually referring to the nearest lake. Here in NC, when they say 'the beach' they are referring to any number of beaches on the coast. In Maine they say we are going to 'the ocean' .... here if you say that people look at you funny and know you must be a Yankee. After 11 years in the south, we now refer to 'the ocean' as 'the beach'. The Yankee in us may be fading everyday, but Maine will always be 'home'). We headed to 'the beach' Thursday afternoon to spend the long weekend at a friends' beach condo that they weren't using. It was perfect! Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort was beautiful, the beach was uncrowded and full of tidal pools ~ perfect for the little ones to splash around in since the surf was a little rough. We had perfect weather the entire time. Other than a few minor hick-ups: Ben had a fever everyday, Will got stung by a jellyfish (a story he will tell you about every five minutes if you'll listen) and Jon got 'bit' by something in the shallow water; but otherwise it was truly an enjoyable vacation from the crazy busy month of May. The beach loving trait didn't skip any of the kids as the all loved playing in the sand and water. This was Camryn's first trip to the beach and she loved every minute of it. Jon and I were able to sit down and chat for a few minutes at a time. What a luxury that was!!
