Jerry and I went to the coast for our honeymoon. And now I would say that almost every vacation we take involves the beach. We love everything about it... the sand between our toes, the smell, the sounds, the fish! We always joked that someday maybe we would retire to a beach town. Now I wonder if we might just follow through with our dream. (Well, you know, many years from now.) At the very least, we will have more time (and money, hopefully) to spend with our toes
buried in the sand and the waves lapping over our feet.
So, it goes without saying, that it does our hearts good that all three of our children love the ocean. It's 100 percent entertainment at the beach. And as I sat on a blanket watching them play without fighting and bickering, I knew this was the best kind of vacation ever. The one where mom can sit back and relax and the children are all playing happily. Now, don't get me wrong, our entire vacation wasn't like that, but it was enough to recharge my batteries. (And the drive home was enough to make me batty again, but let's not focus on that.)
Sorry, I just couldn't help it.... Sand in the booty!! Hope it makes you smile (or cringe.) Whatever the case may be! Hope you have a happy and safe 4
th of July :)

Ooh. Ditto on all ocean sentiments. Aren't we lucky to live so close to it? Can't wait til August!!! We're going to try to go. Unless someone wants our house. PLEASE! Yeehaw! Cute pictures.
I feel you on the beach! Those are my dreams as well. Unfortunately the beach towns in Texas are ick. I'm thinking Oregon! Where would you go?

I like Northern or Central California beaches. Capitola near Santa Cruz would be nice :)
But I would visit you in Oregon, Jade!!
We're renting my former boss' house in Bodega for my b-day...I couldn't think of anything else I really wanted to do for the big 4-0 other than watch my boys romp on the beach, take them fishing, fly a kite and maybe eat some lobster while smelling the salt air. I'll take Maine lobster by the Pacific ocean...no problem! Thanks for posting this beautiful pix!!!
