A Month in Photos

Too many photos! Where to begin? Chronologically? Maybe.

Sandy Cot... the oldest home on the family property. Sits right next to the ocean. Best porch ever.

Daddy Buck's... the home built by my great-grandparents in 1954(?). They retired there and Daddy Buck lived there until his death in 1980 (any family member can correct me in comments, as I probably have a date wrong there). This is where we stay every summer; it's now owned by my grandmother and by the children of her younger brother.

Georgia's first view of the ocean right when we arrived.

One morning when I actually got up early on purpose.

FRIGHTENING. (It is exactly what it looks like. Hi, I'm now afraid to swim in tide pools. A hammerhead, in case it isn't apparent from the photo.)

my friend the shark

Much cuter than a shark.

all smiles

We got to visit with lots of family.
