After finally getting my dream car, I’ve been looking for any excuse to drive it as much as possible. But I’ll save the backstory on the car for another time—today, it’s all about the trip.

We took a drive to Skegness to soak up the last bit of summer sun over the weekend. It wasn’t exactly scorching—around a modest 20°C—but there was a about an hour in the early afternoon when it actually felt pretty warm. Of course, as soon as the sun started going down, the chill set in.

Oscar made us stop more times than I can count for toilet breaks—so annoying! Hillary, seriously, stop letting him drink so much before road trips.

When we got there, Oscar and Casey were busy digging holes in the sand and filling them with water. I swear they could spend hours doing just that.

The best part? There weren’t many people around, so we pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves.

Pretty amazing.

I promise I’ll give you the full car story next time. Until then… bye!
