the beach pass

This summer we bought a beach pass and it was the best investment.  It's awesome living so close to the beach and feeling like you can go at the drop of a hat on any given day.  It's also nice to know that you can go for as little as an hour or two and not feel as though you're wasting your money.  And another awesome part?  Owning a van and bringing as many people as you can fit all within our pass!  On this trip, the girls and I took Jillian and Gus B.

I'll be really sad when this suit no longer fits... 

The Belanger clan created a summer challenge in which they wanted to visit every library within the state.  On this day, we were able to cross off this adorable little one in South Kingstown.

Oh!  We also end every beach trip with a stop at the Vanilla Bean for ice cream, as evidenced by Cassidy's shirt...
