The beach...!

Dear Nicky,

It was such a gorgeous day today we went for a drive down to Island Beach State Park. I've never been there either, but Mom has. It's great. It's like a nature preserve and is almost completely undeveloped. We brought a little cooler with some subs and spread out a blanket and just hung out and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the great sea air. We went down by the water a little ways and you watched the surf come roaring in. You had your little hood up so you would get your head burned. You liked it fine. We gave you some lunch and then your teeth started acting up again, so we had to give you a snoot of Tylenol. Soon you were asleep on the blanket and slept for almost an hour in the fresh salt air. That's gotta be good for you. Hopefully it helped your sinuses, but I think the problem there is more teething oriented than anything else. It was a very nice way, this trip, to pass a lovely afternoon with our little family.

Love,
Dad
