The charm is manufactured, but with little kids, I really enjoy the intentional design of Seabrook. We went for the first time last September, and again the other weekend since Joseph's not in real school yet and we can still get off-season rates. Nine months later and the boys are that much bigger. Paul practiced walking on the beach, and Joseph rode his pedal bike. Joseph loved playing with this intact sand dollar I found. But after pushing it around in a puddle for a while, he asked, "Mama, where is it? Where is it?" I guess it was still alive, and probably thrilled to escape from these grabby little hands. Bald eagle sighting! What little traffic there was moved slowly, so the neighborhood was perfect for a beginning bike rider.
