Ocean, MOSH & pool!

Yesterday, we went to Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. It has 1.5 miles of beach.

My wonderful Hubby!

A pelican in the water.

We were next to the Naval base!

Beautiful shells!

Searching for shells!

Notice the storm clouds in the background.

A sea gull.

More storm clouds.

I had to get a picture of kids in front of the ocean.

Rain was getting closer.

There were several sea turtle nests on the beach.

The area didn't look much different than rest the beach so the fences were needed.

Sand Dunes!

The park also had a 60 acre fresh water lake. Pelican, I believe.

Picnic area near the lake.

Spanish moss.
