I had the extreme good fortune to spend Veteran's day at the beach with my family. The weather is amazing right now. The Gulf was a bit cold for swimming, but this didn't stop my nephew from throwing my son, Marlin, in anyway.
We were mid-island on the beach and someone had created huge sand sculptures. We pitched our chairs next to a 20' sand alligator.
I assume it was created by someone practicing for the annual sand-sculpting contest, "Sandblast" located at the "Beach House Restaurant". This year professional sculptors & local youth will create amazing works of art in the sand Saturday November 20th.
To preview what you'll see visit www.teamsandtastic.com . "Team Sandtastic" is one of the professional teams that will be participating in this event. In 1998 they created the tallest sandcastle ever hand crafted. It stood 28' tall and still maintains the Guinness World Record!
If you have never gone to "Sandblast", you must check it out. Its just too bad that the creations don't last forever.... Just a couple of weeks typically until the wind & elements slowly weather them away.
Cheers & beach wishes,
Marianne
