Finally the time came that we were able to go back to the beach and revert to our more primal state. Robin and Lynn flew into National Airport and we spent a couple of days resting up and packing. Lynn and I picked up the trailer on Friday and we started getting it loaded. Of course this turned out to be the hottest day this year. It was over 100 degrees and with the humidy broke the heat index at aboaut 118 degrees. Needless to say, we were sweating as we loaded towel, bikes food, boogie boards and other necessary items for the beach.
On Sunday morning we got up early and headed out. We had a great trip down with not too much traffice and we met Jared and his family at Captain Frank's a little after noon. We had our obligatory hot dogs and officially started our vacation. Our house was ready so as soon as we finished eating we headed over and moved in.
With that introduction, here are some pictures of activities. Sorry, no pictures of Lynn and me playing golf. We had a great time, but it was rather warm. As a result, we only played one course during the week.

| There is always lots of digging at the beach. |
 |
| The pool was great and we used it a lot to cool down from the heat. |
 |
| Katie is always such a sweetheart. We are glad she can join us. |
 |
| Cherry, Robin and Katy take a bike ride. |
 |
| This is the same house we have been in for several years. Not that gravedigger is not there. Jared, Heather and the girls enjoyed airconditioning for the first time in several years in the new Honda. They did have several blown out tires on the trailer however. |

They also had bumper cars and all but Jax were old enough to ride them. That was really fun because they each got their own car. |
