Not-Quite-Country Girl

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.

Our gang of 21...10 adults and 11 children (ages 11 and under)...

Our favorite summer destination is the beach, but there is plenty of joy in the journey to get there.

"Sandhurst"...aka "Gramaw's Beach House"...our home-away-from-home for a week in July every year.

One gorgeous morning while we were on the North Carolina coast, a few of the Gray men went fishing and I tagged along.  With camera in hand, of course!

I finally finished going through my hundreds of photos from our family beach vacation a couple of weeks ago....
