Birthday Weekend

I love my BIRTHDAY and Colby has learned over the years that I don't just want to celebrate anyone's birthday for a day, but that I think it should last the entire WEEK.


Monday is a Bank Holiday, so bright and early Sunday morning (we just had to sleep in our amazing bed one more night!) we hopped in the car and started driving toward the sun.  We had planned to fly to Spain for the weekend, but it just wasn't going to be warm enough - we will have to save it for another time, very soon.

The weather said it was going to be the warmest in South Wales, so that is where we headed.  Luckily for us, everything is so close here!  Three hours later, we found the sun and the most amazingly beautiful coast.  We stayed the night in Saundersfoot, South Wales Sunday night.  Tanner had heard that this part of the UK has some of the most extreme tides in the world - it did not disappoint - we saw 25 foot tides that day, simply amazing.



Same boats hours later.  We could hardly believe that the were sitting in mud  only earlier in the day 







Since this looks so much like the Oregon Coast, we thought we had better write the location in the sand!






So cool.  The fishing boats had to wait for the tide to come in so they could bring in their catch.  This boat was filled with what looked like large clams, or mussels.  Colby went directly to a restaurant in the bay and ordered just that!
