Hey, one of my favorite things about SoWal, too -- sticking my toes in that beautiful sand, hearing it squeak as I walk in it, and watching the waves wash up on my feet. Hope you get to visit soon. :wave:

I too am missing the beach! Especially on this gray dreary day! The crunchy sound and the way it feels on our feet is one of things my fam loves about the beaches.
I miss it so much, we are planning on May but that is just too far off. I am going to have to do a trip soon.
