Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:34:24 +0000 http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/week-at-the-beach-a-dream-come-true/#comment-4433 I live in a arts & crafts, beach town. Sarasota, Fl. I have lived here most of my life. We try to get the beach as much as we can. I have so many memories of walking on the sugar white sand of Siesta Key with my Mom & Dad. When I was kid my parents got togeither with the neighbors and created The Beach group. We had breakfast, lunch and lots of fun at Siesta. Now I have a family of my own and we go to Lido Beach. My daughter is a mermaid and loves the waves. My son is a little more of a shore bird. Last Sunday we built a sea turtle and decorated his shell with shells. I think the memories of those moments are so strong because we are there in the moment, relaxed and having fun. I have a goal to go to beaches all around the globe. Being a young family with pets makes travel difficult. So for now we visit diffrent beaches around us. Last summer we went to Sanibel Island a 45minute drive. The best shells we have ever found were on Sanibel. Recently we went to a beach in Venice, Fl. that is known for there shark teeth. My son wouldn't dip a toe in the water. He couldn't seperate the teeth from the sharks. My husband and daughter went way out and dived. My husband surfaced with a megladon tooth. My daughter was so impressed with her Dad. My son saw that tooth and started packing his sand castle toys immediately. Memories. I live in a arts & crafts, beach town. Sarasota, Fl. I have lived here most of my life.

I want so badly to own a house on the Oregon coast one day. We've been going there at least once a year since we have been married and I used to go there all the time when I was a kid. If I could have a vacation house anywhere it would be there. Congratulations!! What a dream come true for you and your family. And my- it IS big! That's no cottage honey ;) You guys will make so many fun memories there- and I will live vicariously through them, so you better blog a lot from the beach!
