To The Beach...

During Owen's 2 week Fall break, the Heath's family friend, Mr. Ray gave us the opportunity to enjoy his beach house on the boardwalk at Mission Beach! What an amazing gift. Here are just a few highlights of our refreshing break from routine:
1. Family Game Nights
2. Major highlight for Jeremiah: Four San Diego Padre pitchers and one outfielder staying at the house next door. Ray and his neighbor share a beachfront patio, which meant Jeremiah could chat with the Padres whenever we were all relaxing on the patio. (In the picture below are the four Padre Pitchers - left to right - Luke Gregerson, Joe Thatcher, Adam Leftwich and Brian Webb - Chris Denorfia was the outfielder and is not pictured). All five guys were very nice to our whole family.
3. Beautiful views and sunsets EVERYDAY! Mommy and Daddy felt like they were having a date night every night of the week just listening to the ocean.
4. Free Shells: Collected and given away by Owen and Elizabeth on our patio.
5. Fun times on the beach!
6. Dear friends stopping by for an overnight visit. Good times had by all.
Thank you Mr. Ray for opening your place to our family! It will always be a very memorable vacation!:)
