Life's a Beach: St. George Island, Florida

Tripp has had a fabulous summer so far!  He has spent lots of time in and around the water in any shape or form.  From the pool to the lake to the waves of the ocean (both the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico), Tripp has surely taken advantage of the hot temps here in the south and all the water that surrounds us.

Recently, we went down to St George Island in the Apalachicola, Florida area to spend some quality time with  his grandparents, Pops and Grammy Roughen, and Uncle Daniel and Aunt Whitney.  We had great weather almost the whole time, with a few showers to cool us down just at the right time.  Tripp enjoyed the beach, pool, and other fun activities.

Below are some photos from one sunset session on the beach during our stay.  Fun times all around!

Boy was it a fun trip!  Looking forward to finishing out the summer with another trip for the 2nd annual Roughen-Moon vacation to the Florida panhandle soon!

Happy weekend, all!
