We visited quite a few beaches on our trip. Sadly, we did not get to camp at any, our RV campsites were a bit of a drive, but worth the effort. At each beach we walked, I was lucky enough... Continue reading

I have decided that every beach trip should include doodles! What great companions they are. They are almost as much fun as grand fairies. And every bit as enthusiastic as the kids. On our walks up the shore, Molly was fascinated by all of the buckets, shovels and toys she... Continue reading

These girls might be enjoying the Florida camping trip even more than we are. We have found the most wonderful dog park, and when I saw this marker, I wondered why it hadn’t won best every year, because it truly is. The pretty beach was full of happy families and... Continue reading
