The sand may brush off.

The salt may wash clean.

The tan may fade.

But the memories will

last forever.

  3. Very great. I don’t know who planned this beach week . . But the beauty of the love shared during these moments overwhelms the beauty of the nature in the surrounding beach and gulf waters.
