A week at the beach
Last week, we packed up the car and drove the family down to Ogunquit, in the south of Maine, for a week in a rented cottage by the beach. It was a major adventure for us, and the first time the kids had ever been to the USA. We were blessed with good weather for most of our week, and we made the most of our one rainy day by driving over to the fantastic New Hampshire Children’s Museum. Most days, we got up, went to the beach, came home for lunch and a little quiet time, then went back to the beach for another few hours before dinner. The kids loved the sand and the ocean, and they all came home with tans despite the SPF 60 sunscreen we used all week!
