End of Summer Beach...

"If there is a heaven for me, I am sure it has a beach attached to it."
Jimmy Buffet










Sigh...can we stay a little bit longer please? Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at the beach over Labor Day, great weather, gorgeous beach, delicious food, and good company! We joined Carla, Daniel & Olivia (her very first beach trip!) and hope to have many more in the future! We stayed at a beautiful resort, The Portofino, which gave us access to both the gulf and sound sides of the ocean, and numerous pool options - thank goodness for our wagon! It was the perfect way to load up gear and kids every day to take them to the beach/pool - and thank goodness for Hannah - she was an amazing helper when it came to getting to and from anywhere...thankful for a four year old on this trip!








Highlights from the trip include delicious homemade shrimp pasta & wine, Carla's fish tacos, dinner at Peg Leg Pete's, watching the sunset from our balcony, snacks & drinks poolside, naps, walks on the beach and watching the little cousins play together!






Low's from the trip were sand, hauling everything (including children) to and from everywhere, more sand, hot/hungry/and tired whining (kids and adults!), wet sand, swim diapers, sand and sunscreen, and the biggest low was that Mike was not with us - missed him so much! Amazing trip - so blessed - thanks C&D! Until next time...
