…and for the adults of my family, its here! At Sandbridge Beach, VA. We got here Sat. afternoon and will be returning home this Sat. morning. Upon returning home, a week of work and laundry are ahead of me to get ready to leave again next Sat. for the wonderful, sunny Florida! But for right now, Sandbridge is just fine. We have a 6 bedroom beach house right on the Back Bay, and just one block away from the ocean. The cleaning ladies told us that we have the second best view of the bay. The owners of this house also own the house that has the best view, so second best is fine with me! Our days here have consisted mostly of kayaking along the bay in the morning, spending the afternoon on the beach, and enjoying dinner in our screened-in porch overlooking the bay. After dinner, some of us have taken the kayak out for a short spin to the opening of the bay from our canal. The best part of this being that my mother, the wine lover that she is, likes to sit in the front of the kayak while my middle brother, Kevin, floats her around while she drinks her wine. This hasn’t happened the past two nights due to the fact that on Monday, attempting to get out of the kayak slightly intoxicated, mom took a spill resulting in soaked clothes and a few bruises.
All in all, the trip has been great. The boy wasn’t able to join us, so we left him home to water the garden
What a great girlfriend, eh? Anyway, I don’t have the weekend words for this week but I do have some pictures from our vacation so far!

That about does it for today. It’s about time for me to turn in for the night. Tomorrow? A 6am kayak ride with Dad, then hanging out on the beach for the rest of the day. Maybe I’ll get around to another post, but maybe not.

I’m glad you seem to be having so much fun. I hope you took lots of pictures on your early morning paddle. And I am sooooo jealous of the bushel of crabs – I really miss those.

I must say, the crabs were nice. The only problem is that everyone gets mad at me because they end up picking them for me
not so keen on picking the guts out of the crab, then continuing to eat the crab.

LOL. You must be doing something wrong if you actually have to PICK the guts out.
