Loving the beach

My wife is originally from California so she is definitely a sun loving, beach going type of girl. We have discussed moving there one day again, but in the mean time would love to have a house on the beach just for vacationing. We've also looked into beach house rentals and think that may be an option for us as well.  Whatever we decide, we know we want a place to go to where it's warm and relaxing. I think the beach would be a perfect place for that!

Summer Fun

My sister and brother-in-law got a large pool this summer for their backyard. Their kids are getting to the age where they're beginning to learn to swim, and it was cheaper for them to invest in a pool, rather than go to the local pool every day during the summer. I think it's great, and although I didn't use it...it sure looked like a lot of fun! I know next summer they're actually thinking about upgrading to a larger pool even, and want to get a pool heat pump as well. That will be really nice, as they won't have to wait until the middle of the day for the water to warm up by the sun before using it. I'm sure their kids will love it too!

Family Time

Next weekend I get to head back with my wife and spend time with my family. I really haven't seen them much since our wedding in June and am excited to have everyone together. We're celebrating a few birthdays that are coming up in the family in the next couple weeks and I can't wait! I especially look forward to seeing my little nieces and nephews. What a joy they are!
