Near the end of our vacation last week, one of our activities was to each write a timed essay about our time at Sandbridge.  Mine was in verse - here it is:

A vacation to the beach is a restful retreat

You have little to do, but plenty to eat

Such was our lot as at sandbridge we stayed

From the break of dawn to the end of the day

A break from the norm – that's what it was

A time to do nothing one usually does

We weathered a storm, we went for a run

Took photos of ocean, of sand and of sun

We never got bored, for through the whole place

We saw many an evidence of our God's grace

Incredible animals in a big tank

Caught our attention, and others in rank

Some fish and crabs we caught on our own

We brought them right out of the water and foam

The fish are alright, but the crabs are not

For few were left, after they fought

I read a new book, each and every day

I learned of great men, and their God, that way

We listened to tapes and CD's in the van

Such as the family two hundred year plan

We're sad to leave, but glad to get back

For life must continue, and work – or we'll lack

But as we return may we closer be

To God and each other, in harmony
