Sunday we decided to get away for the day and finally check out one of the beaches here in Wa. We went to a popular one called Ocean Shores, it was about 2 hours from our house and Luke cried almost the entire drive.
I have to admit, although we had a great time the beach here didn't hold a candle to any I have been to in Cali. The fog was rolling in off the brown (yes brown) water when we pulled up. Even though it was a seemingly warm day, the water was too cold to swim in and the water seemed to come at you from numerous angles. It wasn't bad by any means but definitely surreal. Sam and Ethan flew a kite and it actually flew in the air this time :) Ethan and I ran from the waves as they rolled in (he loves the ocean) and Luke was pretty fussy because he has been teething :( We went to this little restaurant Alec's by the Sea, it was amazing! I am so in love with their clam chowder...OMG.
Monday was so fun, Ethan and I had a movie date just the two of us. We went to the local theater and watched Cars 2. Since Luke has been born I rarely get to spend any one-on-one time with Ethan, so it was really great to do that; he had a blast too. After the movie, we went to Walmart together and he made sure to show me all of the Lego toys he wants for his next Birthday.
Today I took Ethan to the Library here and signed him up for a Library card, Ethan had a blast picking out books and checking them out to bring home. I have to say, it warms my heart to know how much my baby loves books.
I didn't get to go running yesterday because I had to ice my knee; I have been having some pain in it as well as my ankle so I figured better take a day off and rest. I am excited for it to cool off a bit so I can go tonight, I am really beginning to enjoy all this exercise, pushing my body out of its comfort zone has been really a great feeling. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
