Summer Fun - Cali Beaches

Our trip to Cali included wasn't all work... we found plenty of place to play!

I love the beach - the sounds, the smells, the feel of the sand on my feet.  I never get tired of it!

California has more that 3,000 miles of shoreline to explore!!

We loved walking (and posing) along the the beach.  Each beach was a new adventure!

Escape to the Beach

We needed a change of scenery... so our annual beach weekend came early this year.

Of course... we had to keep tradition and take the family pic at our lunch stop...

 

The poles were great entertainment this time!

She has amazing balance...

 Walking along the beach at sunrise will always be my very favorite!

Look... she's got a beak!

My favorite beach bums!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 

his mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Port A - 2019

We did it! Our annual "last-week-of-summer" escape to the beach.

I picked a great house, with a view of the ocean  - and we could walk to the beach.  No more sandy van...

It was great to have all of us together for some great family time.

First stop, our favorite tacos on the beach...

Then, a few days and nights in our sleepy little town of Port Aransas.  Lot's of eating, reading, playing games and beach time.

I love being with these amazing people...exactly the recharge we needed before we head off to school! It's one of my favorite places!

One more beach memory...

Just a few more - our beach vacation is always so bittersweet...  school starts when we get back!

I love their personalities shining through!!   The joys of my life...

When did they get taller than dad??

Making Memories

Here's a few beach moments I don't want to forget...

Holding hands with dad...

These three little boys... in big boy bodies!

The best of friends - forever!

Watch out - the Bentz Bunch is taking over the beach!  (the hat didn't make it through the waves...)

Our final Hurrah of Summer

We wrapped up our final weekend of summer all together (and my hubby's 50th birthday) with a weekend at the beach!

Bittersweet time...we soaked up every minute in cozy Port Aransas in our slightly-kitchy cabin.  We ate great food, took a trip to the USS Lexington and made a bucket full of great sandy memories!
