hubby and i once kayaked out here. i think we were paddling through cedar creek and it's where the creek emptied out into the barnegat bay.
i thought i was going to die that day. no joke. the day started out calmly, by the time we exited the creek the waves were sooo hard to get through from the storm coming. mind you, the only place to land was the little "baby beach" at berkeley island. we got yelled at by the lifeguards. seems ironic that we felt our lives were threatened and of all people the "life" guard yells at us. hmm.
as much as i love hanging out in our backyard, this girl has got to get out sometimes...kids in tow.
the view here is great, there is a play area for the kids, crabbing/fishing dock, and a covered picnic area. i love the small beach, too. i'm a bit of a paranoid mama, so having a nice, quiet beach while the kids can play along the edge without getting swept out the sea makes me happy.
and there is a "life" guard.
and it's clean.
and it's free.
kids had fun today, but it was getting a little too hot for my red-head and toe-head. next time, we'll just get there when it's cooler...like 6am. ha.
now if i can just get a babysitter so i can enjoy this place quietly.
a girl can dream.
what's your happy place?
