The “There” in “Are we there yet?” is fourteen hours, four bags of potato chips, two Happy Meals, seventeen restroom breaks, four large coffees, five DVD’s, and three ibuprofen away from our garage- and worth every bit of it all.

Our family has been hitting this beach since before my first freckle.

Everyone from Great Grandma to the littlest cousin heads there at some point during the summer.

This year a few us managed to get away during the same week (a scheduling feat not easy  when almost everyone in your family works within a few feet of one another).

Having more family there at the same time, made our happy place even happier….
