Bridlington

We finally took Lil Isaac to the beach! We met up with all of our church friends and had a great time! We went last year, but Isaac was just too little to enjoy the sand and sun! We went to Bridlington, a town on the eastern coast of England. English sea side towns definitely have a different feel than the tiny towns I visited on the Oregon coast growing up. Obviously, the buildings are much older...there aren't as many nooks and crannies to explore--just a wide open beach! I actually love both for different reasons. I love getting fish 'n' chips and donuts from the street shops in England, looking at the Victorian buildings that have seen better days but are still so beautiful. I love searching for  whole sand dollars, shells, chasing tiny crabs, stopping at fresh fruit stands (for raspberries or blackberries) and eating an elephant ear in Seaside when I visit all of my family's spots on the Oregon coast--AND eating fresh crab (of course)! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day:
