Last weekend, my husband and I went away for a long weekend. We visited a beach that we haven’t been to often, but it was within an easy day’s drive, so it was a great place to go when you only have a few days. Now you may think it is odd that I am writing about this today on The Affordable Mouse, but there is a reason why:
