One of the most memorable experiences for the kids and I over the years has been our Wednesday trip to the beach. Each summer Wednesday, the kids and I would pack up our car or sometimes someone elses car and drive a hour up the coast to spend the day enjoying digging in the sand, playing in the water and the conversation of friends. Now that we live in a beachless state, I was very sad that this wouldn't be part of our weekly routine. Gratefully, this past week we got almost a whole summer's worth of Wednesday beach days in with our friends. It was wonderful, extremely grateful!
