Sunset Beach

Back in May Mom, my Grandmother, and I took a trip to Sunset Beach, N.C. My grandmother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and wanted to take a trip one last time to her favorite place. Guess I get that love honest, because there is no other place on earth I would rather be than at the beach.

Mom and I rented bikes and rode them everyday back and forth from the beach to get in some exercise. We had to ride them across a wooden "swing" bridge that was one lane. It was an adventure to go bump, bump, bump and dodge cars.

We read books, baked in the sun and ate great food. Our view from our bed was amazing. We looked over a boat dock and onto "Goat Island". Goats really did live there...there activity was dependent on the tide.

During one of my beach rides I found the "Kindred Spirit" mailbox, where people wrote about life, their families, their faith and their trips to the beach. It was a really neat and of course I left "our story" too.

The sunsets were amazing and so was the rainbow that started and stopped on the beach. It was a great reminder of God's promise.

Here's to three generations of Sandlappers who love to bake in the sun and wiggle our toes in the sand!
