burnt behind the ears :: part three.

remember this post and this post?

well, here is the final post to our beach trip.

(about time, huh?)

-------------------------------------------------------------

the next morning, mom, sis, and i packed up and walked to the glorious sandy beach.

with very few people around, we soaked up the sun for a couple of hours.

daddy was on his way from work so we gathered our things and headed back to the beach house to greet him.

after he arrived and changed clothes, we headed to the bike rentals to add two more bikes to the two we already had from the day before.

daddy was totally stylin' and profilin' in his shorts and boots. ha!

(he forgot his other shoes.)

and we were off--adventures to be had.

riding our bikes to the cute little town, we stopped for a mango smoothie and a stroll around the block.

riding a total of 14 miles, we returned the bikes and walked back to the beach house to load up and head to panera bread for a to-go dinner.

with dinner in hand, we raced back to see the sun set on the beach.

the four of us sat and ate our dinners of salad and/or sandwiches while watching the sun set and the wedding that had just ended on the beach.

it was a grand trip. 

lots of sun tan/burn and, 

oh yeah, i was sunburned behind the ears.
