which 2nd lens for Nikon D5000

[NDT]

I bought the Nikon D5000 kit with the 18-55mm VR lens.
Enjoying it loads and learning a lot.
I want to upgrade to a bigger lens - mainly for photos of the kids at a distance on the beach / in the garden.

What would anyone recommend?
And where to buy from?
I don't want to break the bank but realise these things aren't cheap....

cheers

Wasnt sure whether to say anything or not as it's a can opener of a statement, but be careful if you get something in that range and you take it to the beach. Some people get nervous

Definately the latest Nikon 70-300mm VR II lens. Here's a few I took with my D5000 and my 70-300mm VR II lens. I used to have the 55-200mm VR lens but I didn't like it t all and sold it straight away. The only issue with the 70-300 is that it is heavy but I an live with that!
