We love to spend time family camping so early this week we spent a night on site 27 at Winter Island, the coveted first spot right next to the beach! It was wonderful to fall asleep on Sunday night listening to the waves roll in a few feet away. I think that this family was meant to live on the water. We love it so much! Here are a few of my favorite Winter Island photos. Needless to say, we had a good time!
the view from our campsite…
the Winter Island lighthouse
What is this cool pole called? Maybe a peace pole?
The now hidden lagoon, it used to be part of a moat around the fort.
Looking north toward Beverly…
How the lifeguard chair is used after hours…
This kid is too much.
Seriously, he just cracks me up!
The sunset reflection, looking north.
and south, with the moon rising.
The boys heading to the beach.
One of our friend Casey’s creations. Still used and loved all the time, if you happen to see this Casey 😉 .
Boats in the moonlight… one of my favorite things to do at Winter Island is to watch the boats come into the harbor at night. It’s so peaceful and quiet.
Early morning fog at low tide…
Playing on the beach in PJ’s is the best!
Camping is also the best (next to gardening 😉 )
Enjoy everything!

It is, the smell of the ocean air is the best. I came out of Home Depot the other day and I could smell it!
