I had the most amazing day last Sunday at the beach with my family & friends. We created our annual "sand-man" for Christmas cards. After we got done, we had several vacationers ask if they could take their picture with our sand-man too. It was a lot of fun & the weather could not have been more perfect.
We even got to see beach front property owners that we work with. Tom & Bonnie, it was great to see you, and it is so wonderful to know you enjoy your beach house. Thank you for not using it too much & letting us rent it though!
