Umm, I’m not gay, but you have a smoking body, I’m jealous. And the place looks great!!!

Beautiful pictures! I would love to have a place on that river – how gorgeous!

My favorite go-to place for the past 15+ years is Orange Beach, Alabama. It’s not overbuilt, the buildings are not crammed side by side, and there is just enough restaurants and shopping to go to if it is raining or if you are not eating at your condo/house. Beautiful white sand.

My parents have had a place in Indian River, MI since I was a baby. We’ve spent summers there my whole life, and continue to spend time up there now with them and our son, who is 2. In fact, he’s up there with my parents right now and gets as excited (if not moreso) than my parents to go “up north” as we say here in Michigan. LOVE IT. If my parents ever sold it, I would be heartbroken.

Wow…just wow….that looks like one gorgeous spot.
We travel to Colorado as our special place with our kids…we’ve always loved the mountains, and so being in the midwest Colorado is where it’s at for us…
As a side, maybe someone else mentioned this already, but the first picture could be one of those cell phone commercials where it shows the boys in descending height…you know the ones where they show the buildings at the different heights and various things to match the cell phone reception bars? Do I watch too much tv?
ANYWAY
Maybe you’ve said before, but what type of camera do you use? Have you had a lot of training in photography?

Was I the ONLY ONE to read, “Fisting on you” instead of “foisting”?

Gah.

Holy crap that is one fantastic place.

No, but I think we are creating those memories for our children’s children.

Dylan looks so grown up!

Wait! I want to ditto Priest Lake, although we stopped going there when I was about 12. Its AWESOME and I can’t wait to take my boyfriend up there on a backpacking trip in July!

I also think I might name a dog Nordman (name of a town in the area).

Yes! Priest!
