The week after Christmas, we went to the beach for a few days.  It was great to have a change of scene, and especially great because it was sunny the whole time!  It was absolutely freezing, but so beautiful!

| Annie and I hung out here for about 5 minutes before we had to keep moving!  | 
  | 
| Pat and I out for a New Year's Day walk.  Again, freezing, but so pretty!  | 
The house we stayed at is amazing!
