Friends in Beach Places

September 24, 2013 by Elaine

I dug my feet into the sand this past weekend.  It felt so damn good.  There really is no other feeling like that in the world.  To sit at the edge of the ocean, watching all of that water right in front of you, over and over again, listening to the crashes.  Yet there you…

I Just Wanna Go Back…

August 4, 2008 by Elaine

There are a TON of pictures to show and so many words that I need to spill out about our vacation but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it all yet. I think my brain is still at the beach even though I am not. So… here’s a couple of “best shots” and…
