Nice view for my walk before work.  BIG check in weekend…including family members 🙂
Vacations
Random thought this morning as I walked the beach: Â Do I crave vacations/travel more than most because of my environment?
Living and working in a resort area has many benefits (see picture below)… yet I’ll admit to some jealousy as I watch people crossing Dune Drive, carrying their beach chairs, as I drive to work!
And, then there is Twitter. A virtual suitcase…providing amazing opportunities to see the world through fellow travelers’ posts and pictures.  Twitter has also become a valuable resource for travel connections. It’s the human side of our computer focused lives.
So as I help vacationers this summer with their rentals, I will also finalize my travel folder for our fall trip 🙂

Father’s Day at the Beach
I wrote this post in 2011; worthy of an annual repeat!
Thinking of my father today. He worked 6 days a week, so Sundays were a sacred day…at the beach.
My dad was blessed with hardy Irish skin that turned dark brown in the summer months. Suntan lotion (we didn’t call it sunscreen back then) and the giant yellow umbrella with the lethal metal pole were for the rest of us who just freckled and burned.
My mother laughs when decribing all of the equipment hauled to the beach, along with 4 little girls: a large playpen (even heavier than the massive umbrella), beach chairs, buckets, coolers, etc. And of course, my father’s fishing gear. At a certain age, my sisters and I were permitted to walk back to the house to retrieve more food and beer for the grown ups (wrapping the beer in foil to trick the lifeguards??)
The Sunday tradition continued with the next generation. My sons enjoyed beach days with “Pop Pop” and followed the rules at the end of the day: 1) “call” your turn for the outside shower, and 2) hang bathing suits/towels on the line. All beach items were thoroughly rinsed, set in the sun to dry, and of course, neatly stored by night fall. Even though we grew up by the beach, sand was NEVER permitted in the house!
Long beach days are an ongoing family tradition. My father’s rules are now enforced at my house (I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown the day this picture was taken…I am my father’s daughter!)
The love of the beach…and family time together.
Thanks Dad.

Family week at the beach- so I will be leaving the office in the afternoons for “appointments”. Â Fortunately, when I walk down to the beach, the group is easy to find!
