Grandpa Gale's Beach Week 5

The sand buckets and toys have been rinsed off...the beach chairs have found their place in the loft of our shed....the annual Corona commercial is a wrap.

Beach Week is a very fond memory. We gather yearly in a lovely place, the past two years at Topsail Island, for a week of family. 

There was jogging, biking and plenty of time on Joyride.....the name of my paddle board. 

We took to the ocean and the sound...it has become my new favorite thing to do for exercise. There were decadent dinners, great conversations, lots of laughter, and a couple dance parties with the kiddos. There were some new faces this year, bright, beautiful and welcomed with open arms. The beach is my place of happiness... I love it....the calm of the water, the sound of the surf. So until next year, we bid a bittersweet adieu to Grandpa Gale's Beach Week.......and can' t wait till next year!!!!!!
