More Family Fun at Pirateland !!! – September 1-8, 2014

Our week with the family at Pirateland flew by.  Not only did we spend time with Julie, Steve and all the grandchildren, but my Brother and his wife drove down to visit Mom.  The three of them came up several afternoons to enjoy the beach and have dinner.
 
My brother, Barry, just got a new jeep and had a great time showing it off and giving rides.

  3. Glad all that bait you were drowning didn't go to waste and you actually caught something. I've always wondered if there was any reason to be on the beach early except to catch sunrises.

    What a wonderful week you had, I bet your mom loved being on the beach with her whole gang. Priceless! :c)

  7. Nothing like family time. One of our fondest memories to date was when we were at Myrtle Beach on our first year on the road. We grabbed our chairs and coffee and headed to the beach to watch what turned out to be a glorious sunrise with all of the shore fishers. What a great spot!
