Dunes are not Mountains

Estoria added another first to her fast-growing list of firsts: vacation at the beach. Now, she didn't get in the ocean, surf, collect shells, build castles, howl at babes (well, a little), or eat tons of fresh seafood...but you can't blame her. If I could be fed from a breast and nothing else, why bother with scum eating bottom feeders??? As for the other activities, well, she can't talk, walk, swim (maybe?) or use her good ol' opposable thumbs that well yet.So it was mostly boob. Rough life.

You can really get a quality sunrise when its this flat. I miss the mountains, oh wait, there's Mt. Trashmore, the highest point in Va. Beach!

One big fairly functioning family.

Esty's Lion Friend lying awake while her baby human friend naps...

Clearly, this picture was taken just after some gastrointestinal activity had subsided...or should I say, transpired?

One morning, while Mom was still getting ready to come to the beach, Cory and Estoria built a sweet lean-to for the delicate-skinned babe. Replete with sand and a boogie board ceiling. Gosh dad, why didn't you go into engineering? Because I hate math, that's why.

Captured this guy trying to break into our beer cooler...little bugger had a leash tied to him...didn't like that so I freed him to go try another tourist's cooler. Better luck next time, dragon.

He said he was searching for surf...but a few minutes later four (4!) beach babes strolled on by, checked our boards, bods, and decided that anorexic looking boys weren't their type. Oh, and the surf sucked that day.

Nuclear apocol...I mean, another gorgeous morning on the east coast (clearly the east or it'd be a sunset...). This picture makes me ponder whether I/we really are part of the environment we inhabit. What do you think?

And upon returning, we were overgrown with an abundance of cherry and pear tomatoes. All organic ("certification" can kiss it) and ready for some taste buds! I'm peddling them at hypno today, and maybe later if they last, so come and get some. They are good for and also taste good, too. Wow, nice combo.
