The Beach Beckoned -- Bolivar Island

In planning a get-away vacation - Terry and his sister, Candace, decided it was time for another reunion. 

We put together the best possible family reunion:

Pick a place -- Bolivar Penisula-- it just happens to be a fav of Candace and her family -- both her kids and their families vacation there almost every summer for 25+ years.  Our family used to go there often when we lived in Texas.

Set a time -- July 27  - August 2

We'd hoped David and his wife Dolly were going to be able to join us.


That left us four old "geezers"  and four dogs.

It was so fun catching up on the past 10-12 years




Rent a house:  Candace (Candy as we call her) picked the best possible house --  With a Lift!!!




Talk about a week of utter relaxing - the most cooking we did was making morning coffee or an occasional sandwich - and James did the apple fritter run to the donut shop every morning!

Catch up with family - Zac and Uncle Terry


Zac and his family spent their first night on the beach camping outdoors

It was soooo relaxing -- sitting on the deck --

Listening to the waves
Watching sunrises with a cup of coffee
Enjoying the Blood Moon over the Gulf
Walking the beach

Doing the favorites:  Eating at Stingaree Restaurant, Souvenir Shopping, A trip to Galveston - Riding the Ferry and Walking the Strand 

You know you're relaxed when your whole time is spent looking for the migration of the pelicans headed North and feeling the call to just sit and listen and enjoy the sea breeze.
