a beach vacation, revisited

at long last, here are some photo memories of our beach vacation.

we've already booked the houses (there will be two!) for next year. would you like to join us?! :)

beach

pretty much my view for most of the week.

our early morning, low tide stroll turned into an "oregon trail" fording the river real life story .
katie says thank you, dad.

the smelt were running (or whatever they say) and there were so many birds.

jeanne, dad and dick on a beautiful, misty beach morning.

beach food

bruce's candy kitchen.

I spoke of our beach love of ice cream here.
we didn't disappoint. I think we had some every day. it is a very important part of our beach vacation.

the motherload.

beach fun

we can't get to the beach fast enough on our first day. a fire is a must.
dad, brad, me and mom

a man and his kite.
we've had that thing for something like ten years and its still plugging along.

the game of life.
did I win? I think so but I can't remember. I was the banker though, I love that job.
we also played endless games of solitaire and some chinese checkers.

beach sunsets

pure heaven

a big THANK YOU to my parents for making this trip possible.
I am so grateful.
