Derek says his last goodbyes to his crab before he and Aunt Katie take it back to the beach and freedom
We didn't make it back to the beach for our usual sunset photo shoot on the last evening, so we settled for a quick photo shoot on the back deck on the last morning
As always - we're the slowest and last to leave
We went to the Smiling Fish Cafe on one of our first family beach trips. We often have Helen's copy of the Smiling Fish spinach salad. This year we returned for the real thing.

I got a tasty wrap with fresh fish, Adam got shrimp, and Derek got...a cheese burger
As soon as we got in the car Adam asked if we could visit some of the other beach towns on the way home. He likes these trees in Seaside.

Ice cream break
I was feeling Chikfila on the way home, but we didn't find one and opted for KFC instead. Sometimes it can be good, but this time it was really greasy and sickening. We tried to dilute the feeling with a McDonalds chocolate shake, but it tasted like straight chocolate syrup and we felt worse. It's better to just not eat - we should have known.
