the first of the beach photos

Last Sunday (father’s day) Jamie, Jay and I headed down to Blue Waters Beach Club, a beachfront motel on Anna Maria Island, to spend the week with his family.  A week at the beach was a long standing tradition with the Vickers Clan who sat sea side year after year and while they took a break for a few years (10 to be exact) it was such a nice tradition to resume.  Everyone had a wonderful time, enjoying lazy mornings on the beach and in the waves, early afternoons in the shade, dips in the pool before supper, plenty of family meals, amazing sunsets and great conversations long into the night.

We have so many photos from our trip (surprise, surprise) I am not really sure where to even start!  So in an effort to not overwhelm anyone I think I will probably break it out into a few post- you’re welcome, I know you were thinking it ;)

Here you go with the first batch…

  1. Ok, a couple of things…
    1. I loooooooooove anna maria island.
    2. I wish I would have know you guys were going to be there because a friend of mine was there last week and she was actually looking for a photographer to take some family pictures (and I’m sure you’d love to work on your vacation).
    3. You are so lucky Jamie can work your camera. We get home from vacation with 1000 pictures and I’m in exactly 2 of them.

    Glad you had such a great time!
