Third time is the sandy charm...

The two little dots... that's us.
This is Jonathan's third trip to the beach with my family - and the first time that nature has been on our side! The first year, we had to evacuate due to a hurricane blowing in. (And to be honest, the company could have been better. But Chris and Kate were on their honeymoon or something.) The second time, in 2005, we arrived at the same time as red tide. If you've never experienced breathing during red tide, imagine fire in your lungs.

But this third time, nature has been 100% on our side. It's been insanely perfect - except that Chris and Kate aren't here. Next time?

Debatable.
The water was so clear. Even further out.
The writing on the wall (of sand)
Sea shell colors. I was channeling my inner Mina.
The pier
Just chillin'... in perfectly warm water.
The sand is so white and fine. I've never seen any like it.
This guy's got a great ocean view.

Your captions had me cracking up: "I should totally tweet this." Hahahahah

The water is so beautiful! What beach did you go to?

And you're sending me these, right? Right?

It looks insanely perfect...as you said. And oh, my goodness....I hope we can join you next year. Oh wait...Chris will be in a hospital :( Can we go in August instead of September??

So glad you're having such a good time - Jonathan looks very beach in his swimsuit and white button-down shirt...that's a great picture of you guys. All the pictures are wonderful.

Miss you tons - see you in THREE WEEKS!!!

@ Kate:

That's such a lovely phrase, Kate, "he looks very beach"! I'm so going to use it sometime! I've never heard it before!

@ Kari and Jonathan:

Lovely photos! Especially the one of the shell. Great to know you're having such a good time!

This is amazing...much different than my excursion to the Pacific coast last weekend. It was cold and rainy!
