We had a nice time. The visit coincided with the big sand castle building competition, which was interesting to watch and many of the structures were really impressive. Anya didn't particularly care, though. She was more interested in jumping in the big holes left from all the sand used in the competition and running around, playing by herself or with any willing kid.
We did some silly touristy things, like rent one of those surrey bikes . It was pretty ridiculous, all 5 of us pedaling (well, 4 of us pedaling, plus Anya in front) around on the big path and on the side streets. It's more work than we thought it would be and I'm surprised we never tipped over. It was fun, though, and I'd do it again.
We also took a horse-drawn carriage ride, which was relaxing. It was interesting looking the houses in town. There are some really beautiful, old homes there.
Anya seemed to have a blast. She got to go on the carousel in town, and suckered grownups into taking her swimming at the condo pool at least twice every day we were there. Honestly, if it was up to her, I think she'd just stay at the pool the whole vacation.
We watched the Summer Olympics (London) a fair amount (the opening ceremony was comedic, in a bad way) and got some relaxation time.
A lovely trip. I hear the condo is reserved next summer for the sand castle competition again. We are looking forward to it.
We didn't take many pictures on this visit, but here's one plus a video of Anya playing on the big holes at the beach.
