My beach photos just keep coming. I know- it gets old. I will end it soon.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9556\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I have been getting a lot of emails about Watersound<\/a> and how to find a place there.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9567\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

We have always stayed in the condos there because they are right on the water and with Eva it is just easier to have a short walk to the beach. In the future I would like to get a house as the boys are all over the golf carts- which is a must there.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9569\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

We usually rent through VRBO<\/a>. Where owners list their places.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9573\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9574\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

A lot of the houses are not rented, so in a way it is nice but it also limits options.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9593\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I can’t say enough great things about the area. The place we just stayed was for sale (now in contract). Not sure if they will rent it. I would have bought it, if I had an extra mil laying around.<\/p>\n

\"Watersound<\/a> <\/p>\n

So there is this weird lake thing that runs along watersound<\/a> and then out to the beach. The first time we came the boys named it “the toxic river of doom”.<\/p>\n

We have since learned that it is a freshwater coastal dune lake. It is full of tadpoles<\/p>\n

\"tadpoles\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Very cool<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9603\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Lots of tadpole catching and releasing going on<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9604\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And then back to the sand hater- this was after a storm and there was seaweed everywhere. That didn’t help.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9610\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9612\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9614\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Brother to the rescue<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9616\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9618\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9619\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9620\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9622\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9625\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9626\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9632\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9633\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Austin cracked me up with wanting to take sand home. He was hoping the smell could be taken home too. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9645\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9651\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And then it was goodbye to the beach. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_9661\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Stay tuned for pics of my 13 year old getting his first driving lesson!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
