Beach House

It has always been a yearly tradition for my family to spend a week out at the beach house. It is always an opportunity for me to just relax and have fun- I only wish that I could stay longer! I enjoyed just watching the waves and sitting out in the sun- although I got way too sun burnt! I went boogie boarding while Evan went surfing-though the waves were pretty lousy. One of the nights, I had my friends come out and we had a fun taco night. We played the game of life and sat by the campfire. Sitting by the campfire is one of the my favorite parts of the day because it is a chance to wind down, have some great laughs, and get back in touch with my family.
My friend Alexis also came out to visit and we had such a great time catching up and remembering old times. We are both going to be debutantes and I'm so excited to share that experience with her!
On our last day, a pelican came onto our patio and relaxed for about a half hour. I thought he was sick because it looked like he couldn't fly- we even called Animal Control! But of course, as soon as I called, the bird flew away. I named him Earl. Go figure.
I spent much of my time painting (okay, it was a paint by number, but a painting nonetheless). I truly loved my time out at the beach and I can't wait till next year!
