Matthew and Gretchen were kind enough to take vacation days Monday and head to the beach with us. When they lived in Sarasota and we were childless, we'd spend a lot of our visits at the beach. The Gulf Coast of Florida is where I feel in love with beach -- the white sand, clear water, reassuring sound of the waves, listening to the gulls.
This time we drove to Fort DeSoto Park, outside St. Pete. Monday's weather was perfect -- sunny but not too hot. Steve and Cooper built a grand sand castle/fort. Steve, Cooper and Matthew played baseball with a water noodle and splash ball. They also tossed a Frisbee in the water. Katie played keep-away with Gretchen. Some of us were brave enough to get fully immersed in the still-chilly water. We all dined on Gretchen's picnic food.
Many more photos are here.
