We saw this sign outside an Outer Banks restaurant...so true.  In fact, I might change "ALL YEAR" to "FOREVER"!

Because I took SO many photos and it's just so much fun going through them and reliving the happy moments that make me smile, today I'm sharing a few many more from our July beach vacation.

All man-made play areas pale in comparison to those that are God-made...and the ocean is BEST waterpark ever created!

Besides my cabin home in the middle of Indiana corn fields, there is no place on earth that I'd rather be than seaside.

Magical sunrises...

A few more beach memories to share before we say farewell to Emerald Isle for another year...

Our grandkids will undoubtedly develop hundreds of friendships as they grow up, but none will ever quite compare to the relationships they have with their cousins.

Nothing like whitecaps to make for beautiful seascape photos.

All eleven of my grandbabies, like their Gramaw, LOVE the beach!

We've been home from the beach almost a month now, but I've finally gotten through all the photos I took during that glorious week of vacation on Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
