farewell beach...

Well, it's been a terrific week at the beach, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end as we're heading back home to VA tomorrow. (okay, it's already been 2 years since we moved, but still. That feels weird to say.)

It was so fun playing in the sand...

...and looking for seashells...

...and watching the huge groups of manarays swim SO near the shore each day!!! (don't worry- they don't have stingers. You know, we've never seen quite this much wildlife here- some people also saw dolphins and a large shark. Wondering if it's due to the oil spill??)

It's been a good conference for our students (this was part of the scene from the outdoor barbecue we had last night for dinner).

But I'll miss this life. Ahhhh....

Fun times & good memories...

But so long for now, beach.
