feliciakwSpent the first day in I have no idea how long in the water today. Not just any water--the Atlantic Ocean. It's been ages since I've been in the Atlantic. (I always try to step into the Pacific when I'm out in L.A.) And only one jellyfish to be seen!
The kids thought the water tasted yucky. "It's salt water," I told them. (I actually didn't think it was that bad. It just stung a bit when it got in my eyes.) And it felt really good. Not really cold at all. We had great fun in the waves and foam. But we are now all varying shades ranging from red to very, VERY red. I'm on the "very red" end of the spectrum.
And as a side note: If you use the spray-on sunscreen, be sure to rub it in. Otherwise, you'll get a really strange, mottled pattern of sunburn.
I made the comment several times that we should watch Jaws. No one seemed to appreciate the suggestion.
