What do we do when we're at the beach?

Here are some samples of our daily escapades.

Garen shows Jacob and David some fishing tips and tricks.

Hannah helps Gema bake Rachel's birthday cake.

Rachel & Jacob skype with family back in Austria.

We rinse off a lot of sand.

And wear sun protection (while looking glamorous).

We drive to Apalachicola to have lunch at the Owl Cafe.

We draw on their tables, but they still let us come back every year.

We are like heat seeking missiles for ice cream.

We make sure to point out places of local history and culture.

Most of all we just enjoy being together.

Smiling Bob's

Here at the Cape we are staying at Smiling Bob's house.

I'm not sure who Smiling Bob is, but he has a very nice house.  It has bedrooms:

This is the room Hannah and I are sharing.

This is Rachel & Andy's room.

This is the boys' room.  I did not end up with photos of the VIP suite where Eleanor & Mike are staying, but I will rectify that shortly.

Here is the living area.  It is very large and comfortable.

Hannah soon will find out that conversations with Garen make much more sense when you are enjoying a Red Stripe.

Here is our porch:

And our boardwalk straight to the Gulf of Mexico:
