This is not our first trip to the beach this year, but the number of other beach goers on our favorite beach show that the season has begun. Usually every direction is empty, but on this sunny Friday, it is populated. Okay, so all of the umbrellas are from our group, so you see it is still quite a paradise with plenty of open beach space. We were lucky enough to watch the space shuttle go up during our trip right on the beach. When I see pictures from up north, beautiful snow globe photos, gorgeous peonies and lilacs ... I remind myself that this week, when my Minnesota cousins had snow, we were here at the beach.
