We arrived at a guesthouse on the beach this afternoon where we'll be spending the next 24 hours. The girls saw sand and went nuts. We tossed our luggage in the room, liberally applied sunblock, put them in bathing suits and went outside.
Claire pointed out to Melanie that the guesthouse had a pool. Melanie asked where it was. Claire indicated to the ocean, saying "it's a really big one!".
Many hours later, after much sand had been thrown, bits of coral and shells collected in a bucket, splashing in the ocean, chasing local cats, getting excited about dogs on the beach, Claire was in a thoughtful mood. We were sitting a little bit off the beach together when she turned to me and said "Daddy, this is the perfect house. I can have swim lessons at this house and play in the water and sand all day."
I think the girls are having a good time.
