Monday!

 Monday!

6:00 am.  Watch the sunrise. 

  

7:30am! Let's set up on the beach!

Tent is easy. We have lots of shade.

 

A puffer fish washes up in the surf.

His gills are still moving. Can we save him? 

Jack and Carolyn take the fish back to deep water.

The beach is beautiful. We have arrived!

Saturday! It's a long drive. It doesn't matter. We are here.

The house is waiting for us and there is a surprise.

Four baby swallows crammed in a tiny nest in the garage.  Every time we walk out the door we can check on their progress.

Sara plans ahead and brings crab cakes and steaks for everyone.  We begin our vacation by sitting down and eating right away - a

 gourmet meal.  We are stuffed!

Steven is the grill meister! Steak is perfect! JC eats two crab cakes, to Rich's dismay.

 

Thanks to Lisa, we have homemade truffles, pound cake, banana bread (don't eat until breakfast!!!!) and toffee something squares.  They must be eaten with milk.  

It's Sunday and the beach is waiting! 

Where did that ugly black sand come from?

Alex doesn't care!

We all agree that the water is warmer than last year.
