One of the things that Alina was most looking forward to while she was here was going to the beach. Cameron had originally planned on taking her to Clearwater, but the forecast called for rain today on the Gulf Coast. I suggested Daytona instead and was really glad that they agreed. Our family hadn't been then in over a decade. I was excited to see how the beach compared to Clearwater and the two of them were thrilled to spend the day in the ocean.
I was a little nervous about where we would park and what we would find to do in Daytona, but thankfully all went well. We easily found a parking spot near the Silver Beach entrance and quickly picked out a place for them to swim near the lifeguard station. There was an orange flag out today, so I wanted to be near help if needed. Cameron and Alina never ventured far enough for the waves to be a serious problem, but did wade out deep enough to enjoy them. They spent two hours jumping in and out of the waves, enjoying their time in the water. I didn't spend much time in the ocean, but was in long enough to get my feet wet. I was impressed by how warm the water was for early summer.
