What's Around This Place?

The first morning in our fabulous house was cloudy and rainy. It looked amazing and the cool thing about staying at the beach was never really knowing what the weather would be next. (Ok, you could check the whether report but that's no fun) Its hard waking up in a place you forgot you were at and then not being able to see past your own nose.

This is the view from where I slept. One side was the pillows

and the other side was windows and these quirky mirrors

with wooden sailors glued to them.

I did a lot of lying around looking at

this fan over my bed and the mirror

across the room that showed the

pictures on the wall behind me.

I get relaxed looking at these pictures.

I crawled out of bed to the smell of Starbucks coffee (yes, I brought it with me in my suitcase) and hostess mini donuts. The big girls were still sleeping and Emma was out enjoying the drizzle in the 90 degree weather. I found Steve reading and enjoying coffee and thought to myself that this would be a perfect time to explore under the house. All the houses at the shore are on stilts which leaves spaces under each house which I find fascinating and a bit creepy.

MMMMMM, breakfast of champions!

Steve reading his second book.

How can it be so warm and still rain??

Who cares, its fun!

Emma does a lot of dancing with her

Dad, and he does a lot of standing there

while she does.

Now to the house!

This is the best thing I found under the house. Isn't it

horrible? I love this and it was huge! Must have a

gazillion ants living in there!

The address was everywhere, lush plants covered the

grounds and things were hiding under the stairs.

There was a common theme of birdies.

I loved the signs of weather wear on

everything from metal to wood.

I LOVED hanging our wet clothes

on the clothes line and Emma

did too!

How much do you love the fence

and tall grass? It reminded me

of beaches I've seen in the movies.

Our walk way to the sand was my very most favorite feature on the outside

of the house. I can't even tell you why, I just loved the feel of it.

Well, that's it, All the details and special tidbits that made it really cool for us to hang out there. Later that day the sun came out and the adventures began!
