When you see a sign that says, "Road Closed Ahead" what do you do? I assume the road is closed and turn around to follow the detour. In terms of driving to the beach this weekend, we should have proceeded through the barricade and continued on our way. But, we didn't. Instead we took a one hour tour around the countryside trying to find the non-existent detour signs that would lead us to the beach. Finally we picked up the detour signs again, which lead us right back to where we started. So we stopped and asked in a gas station. "Oh yeah! You can drive through the sign and take the first left right after the railroad tracks and it will take you right there!" Yeah. Wish we would have asked the first time around. All that frustration and we all handled it pretty well. Aria pointed out all the things she saw in the countryside and only asked a few times if the beach was going to be open. Justin and I only had one brief moment of frustration, but persevered.
More than an hour later than planned, we arrived at the beach. And we did this:

Our hour long road trip did not deter our fun or Aria's immediate requests to do that again. Now, if only I could remove the lake water smell from the swimsuits. :)
