My little family...The Q's first encounter with the great ocean interface.

She was a little unsteady on the sand, at first, but you can see by the smile on her lovely face how she felt about it.

Daddy wrote her name in the sand - another first.

Barefoot and fearless, into the chilly surf.

Delighted with her first experience with salt water.

Historic boats tethered to the pier.

A confident gull.

From another era of seafaring.

Clinging to Mama's leg, while greeting strangers on the dock.
