Beach Trip Before School Starts


Cape San Blas, Florida


 Family beach trip minus son and family who live too far away to come this time. Wish you were here James, Sarah and Will.



 Grandkids


I don't know who was prouder, Granddaddy or Daddy, of grandson's redfish. Redfish was 26 inches and was delicious blackened for dinner.








  Great grandmother is a joy to have with us.



 Our beach neighbors must be from Texas.



 I am relaxing and reading David McCullough's new  book, The Greater Journey-Americans in Paris. It is extremely interesting.


I am joining Wow us Wednesdays, Wayfaring Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday.

  1. That ocean water looks so refreshing! It's nice you can vacation as an extended family. The redfish was a wonderful catch! I like McCullough's books -- I hope to get this one from the library soon!

  9. Keep me posted on the book! I'd love to know if it's one I should add to my list. Though now that I"m home from Maine, I'll be a much slower reader. I read like crazy up there...must be soothing about coastal air! :)

    Glad you enjoyed some good memories with your family!

    Blessings,
