Not sure why we all say we're going to "the beach" when in fact there are places we visit in that region that are not covered with sand…such as the photo I took here at Beaufort, NC, an historic fishing port near Morehead City, NC. Yes, we (family) did spend time surfing (boogie boards), sunning, digging in the sand, searching for shells, etc, but we did other things as well. Considering that our two granddaughters (20 and 16) were along, those "other things" included looking at and trying on lots of clothes, and jewelry. Weather was fine, albeit hot, with heavy surf some days. Naturally the day we left it all cooled off. So, summer is officially over for the Morgan clan living here in Martinsville VA as school begins next week (2 grandkids in high school, one in 3rd year at VA Tech, and daughter who teaches 8th grade science). But, summer weather is not over, nor is grass cutting and fishing season over for me. So, when I can, I'll still be "out and about".
