After the wedding and on the way back to the airport, there was finally a break in the weekend rainstorm and we were able to officially show Avery the ocean. To say she was a fan would be an understatement. She would have stayed out there playing in the sand and running away from the water for DAYS. The waves were a bit of a surprise to her the first time as she didn't realize they would be coming at her so quickly haha. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful trip. Ocean and In-N-Out burger in one weekend - kid was on cloud nine!!!
