Christmas Eve Day at Clearwater beach

After 16.5 hours drive, we all made it to Florida safe and sound. Aiden did very well in the long ride. After checking the 10-day forecast, we decided to go to Clearwater beach on Christmas Eve day since it was the warmest day (68F high) during our stay. The beach has very nice white sand and it wasn't crowded since the water was really cold. This is Aiden's first time to see the ocean. At the beginning he wasn't really sure what to expect and a little scared of waves. But after we showed him how to use the shovel to pick up the sand and drop it in the bucket, he really enjoyed that. It didn't take him long to get used to the waves and he loved walking into the COLD water and chasing the seagulls. We wish the weather and water could be warmer, but Aiden still enjoyed himself very much on the beach.
