The girls rose early with the boys and always made sure their was plenty of coffee packed as they headed to the beach. They filled their early mornings with coffee and hunting for treasures from the ocean. They walked miles that weekend as they searched for sanddollars, shells, sea glass and rocks all set before them on a glistening sand beach. They filled their cups with coffee to wake them and to warm their hands as they searched for yet another sanddollar to beat Brit's Papa's record of most sanddollars found in a day. Then off to the showers and down to the village where shops were waiting with yet more treasures. Clothes!!! Girls cannot forget this special shopping treat when off on Holiday! They filled their time in town shopping and drinking fruit smoothies as they strolled along the ocean docks hoping to spy the otters and seals. They then headed back out to the house and the ocean just in time for the tide to go out and the sand to be filled with even more treasures to fill their bags. The girls even found time to help retrieve a run away board for the guys as they searched. They then spent their evenings sitting on the roof top deck or in the house doing hair, watching the Olympics and giving backrubs to the guys who were in major pain after spending whole days on the waves. They each filled their cameras and have spent many hours since our return comparing pics and giggling as they remember their escape from life and their time spent at the edge of the ocean searching for treasures and building dreams.
