BeachWednesday Week #13 - The beach of my child days

Since I know me as a person that I love everything beach related

But I had a problem, I didn't know how to face our Atlantic waves, and the first time I went for a swim (out of the pool where I learned to swim) I almost get drawn. It was only a few seconds, but I thought "what a stupid end, I'm just a kid!"

Fortunately, there was a grown man close that grabbed​ my arm and pushed me (I think no one in my family noticed, and I kept that in secret). I was sure they would forbid​​ me to go swim again, and if they told it to my parents...I'm pretty sure they would not allow me to go with other relatives to the beach while they were working!

My parents always preferred to take me to São Martinho do Porto beach

It is a bay golf where the waves are almost insignificant --> Perfect for kids

The beach was a bit far from our place, that's why we always leave early in the morning. In our drive, ​we usually buy some roasted chicken, which was eaten with a tomato and cucumber salad that my mom prepared to us. (We had a picnic​ table, priceless!) She also used to take some fruit, melon, plums or peaches. They also use to mount a tent in the beach so we could protect ourselves from the sun.

My dad used to play with me in the sea and when my mother joined us, well, I could say it was perfect and I was happy!
In the end of the day everyone always gets an ice cream before returning home!!

Bringing back these memories are letting me nostalgic

Those were happy days, and now it's my turn to create my own happy memories!

BeachWednesday tag was launched by @uwelang and it's a great idea to share our visitings to the beach and stories!
