I got the apple and whipped cream topped pancakes. Yum! I don't think I walked enough to burn off those calories. At least I got the kid-sized portion.

We went to DeWayne's after breakfast and Em, Leah and I bought new Vera Bradley purses. Mine just holds a few things...camera, cell, and credit cards. Great for traveling. We drove in earnest from there, and arrived at the beach about 10 minutes after Kelly and her daughter Natalie pulled in. The girls rushed to the beach while we adults put all the stuff away.

Kelly and the girls went out for errands, Mom took a nap, and I headed out to the beach. It was really humid and windy, but I managed to read a whole People magazine. It's a tough life. We're all in now, it's storming outside, and the adults are getting ready for bed. Oh, and I have 4 bars of Internet service! Great news for an addict like me.
