To the beach

Joe arrived a couple of days before we left for the beach. On Sunday, August 9, we headed down for our much-anticipated week at the beach. We made a few stops along the way, picking up some produce, some pamphlets at the visitor's center, and having lunch at Hurrican Mo's, where we had eaten a couple of years ago. They were just gearing up for a huge fishing competition there, and it was neat to check out the deep sea fishing boats.


After Josh and Laura arrived Sunday evening, we walked down to the beach at sunset.


Monday morning, we hit the beach bright and early. Josh fulfilled Tracy's obligation from March Madness, wearing the water wings, while Jacob went empty handed because he won the competition.

Monday night was our first seafood dinner. Crabs, shrimp, and scallops. Yum. We taught Aunt Laura how to pick crabs.
