I have been going to Ocean Grove, New Jersey for as many summers as I can remember. Most of those pictured below (My Dad's side of the family) have been going for that long or longer as well.
This year we discovered a beach playground in walking distance from where we stay that was set up with the youngest in mind.
Sophia enjoyed playing in it with her grandparents.
She made some new friends as well.
In the mornings Sophia and I would usually leave our room at 6:00 and head straight for the boardwalk. After we watched the sunrise, my Mom would join us at about 6:30 to walk to Main street for breakfast.
One morning we went to the playground where Sophia enjoyed it all to herself, until it started pouring. We camped out in a little plastic house while we waited for it to stop.
When Sophia wasn't at the Beach Playground, she was pretty thrilled with a bucket and some sand.
She also enjoyed playing with shells (drawing a crowd of hopeful seagulls that she would reveal some food) and climbing on the rocks.
Maybe next year she'll spend a little more time in the water.
