I used to hate taking my small children to the beach

I used to hate taking my small children to the beach. It might seem like an easy day out for many people, not for me. All of the gear, all of the sweat, all of the sand, the crowds, and then trying to go out to eat later when your kids are exhausted and overstimulated and all of the restaurants are crowded. There were just so many things that I didn't like about it.

Until one day when it occurred to me that I could just do the beach the way I want to do it and I came up with a plan that avoided all the things I didn't like about going to the beach with small children while keeping all the things that I loved about it.

This might seem silly to people who live near the beach, but for those of us who live 15 hours from it and have to dedicate an entire vacation to it, it almost seems sacrilegious to not wake up and immediately go to the beach. It feels like you're missing out on the whole purpose of your vacation.

So I had to remind myself that the purpose of my vacation, is to have a vacation! So I need to do it the way that is best for our family. And for small kids, it makes a lot of sense to just do the day backwards to what most people do for a beach day.

I know depending on what beach you go to, a night time visit may not be the best idea. Tides and waves (And I guess sharks? )work differently in different places, but where we go in Florida for both waves and sharks reasons, it's the perfect time to visit for us.

Backwards Beach days have truly saved the beach vacation for us. . . . . .
