4th of July Retrospective - Long Beach, 2011

It’s been declared a new tradition: camping on the 4th with the Winslow’s! (They didn’t get a mention, but were part of our 2010 4th.) But I think really it means camping down at the family property on Long Beach. Either way, it was a great long weekend out of town where we got to kick up our heels (and some sand) in the company of great family and lovely friends.

The highlights:

The beach (the weather!!)
