Sweet Child of Mine: Mead House: Summers(and winters) on the Beach

Sweet Child of Mine

Shes got a smile that seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky. Now & then when I see her face it takes me away to that special place & if I stare too long I'll probably break down & cry. She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain. I hate to look into those eyes & see an ounce of pain. Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as I child I'd hide & pray for the thunder & the rain to quietly pass me by. GnR

Mead House: Summers(and winters) on the Beach

No matter how far away we go, this is the best place on Earth! Mead House on Little Hickory Island. Home. Where everything was OK no matter how it was out in the rest of the world. Where Camille learned to ride a bike on the beach and also had her first Big Crush! You girls watched A Walk to Remember about 37 times in 1 summer (but you didn't cry!)

We saw dolphins and manta rays and manatees

We fished

and tanned and played

and loved every minute of it!

We stumbled upon it back several years ago and it soon became the family gathering place.

Sippy Cups and Sand Toys

We spent every sunset of every day right there on the beach. Playing and walking, volleyball, surfing, just being together.

Little Hickory Island in January

Nanny and Grampy visited, cousins spent summers, friends congregated to grill on the beach. There were parties at night and the Turtle Patrol always knew when we were in town!
