Back to the Beach


This week my family has gone back for another beach adventure -- this time for a huge family reunion.


Our reunion is filled with babies and toddlers; kids, tweens and teens; new and experienced moms and dads; grandparents and great-grandparents.


Several generations of brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins have gathered here in Sandbridge, Virginia. It's everything a family reunion should be.


Funny thing -- it's not exactly our family . . . . But we're glad to be along for the ride!


You know that question that folks in the South often get asked: "Are you kin by blood, or kin by marriage?" Well, I guess you would say about this family and ours that we are kin by love.
