We love, love, love the beach! It’s such a treat to have a special place to enjoy the sand and surf, and absorb the therapeutic benefits of nature.

Last weekend we escaped to Topsail Island to help our friend, Lisa, celebrate her birthday. All us kids (wee ones and big kids-at-heart) enjoyed fresh shrimp and soft shell crabs from the Surf City Seafood Market, afternoons full of building sand castles and walking in the surf, and fun nights relaxing and playing games.

The beach is just the perfect place to let your stresses melt away, sport awesomely wind-blown hair and give your feet a natural buffing!

Happy Birthday, Lisa! So happy we could all celebrate your youth, our health (aside from your broken foot!) and the glory of life at the beach!!!
