We took a fantastic week long vacation to St. Simons Island Georgia in the late summer of 2001. There was a small cottage on the beach that we had all to ourselves. The girls loved the freedom of the beach... being able to run everywhere. The cottage had a small porch on it that caught the ocean breezes. One night there was a massive thunderstorm over the ocean and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the trip.

As part of her day at the beach on Jekyll, Rhiannon decided to "clean" the sand by moving it from one location to another.

Left:Isadora on the other hand decided to look very very busy while actually just bossing everyone around. Right:Two tiny footsteps in the sand.

The following is what happens when Chavaleh has a digital camera and gets left in the car too long.

Here are some pictures that my mother took.

Includes Mara's little boy, Elijah Graham.

Here are a couple of the cottage we stayed in. First the veiw from the beach and then the view from the porch (which was also the view from mine and Tomas's bed since there was a large plate glass sliding door at the foot of the bed. Nice view to wake up to.).
