The Beach House Stairs

Over and over again, they prove themselves irresistible. The look-out point. A place where you can keep your eyes on everything and everyone in the house. A great view of the water and all of it's wonders. And if luck would have it, you might catch a little New Year sunshine. I have my own fond memories of laying on one of the steps near the top, eye level with the ceiling, pick pick picking away at the squishy popcorn coating of ceiling (cringe!).

He made it past the barricade, he got smothered with brother love, and then they took their stuffed animals away. Life's ups and downs begin early.

I too have my own memories about those stairs. It is just so great to see them experience the beach house and all the same things you did when you were growing up. Awesome.
