Oh how we will miss these beaches...

On Saturday we headed to the beach to gather up as much beach time as we could before the oil begins to reach our beautiful coast. We couldn't take the boats out because many harbors had already closed and the booms laid out prevented us from getting around the Gulf.


Thankfully our little Mississippi girl doesn't know what is coming.

It is so sad to think of the beautiful white sand covered in oil for years to come, and the devastation the oil will cause for all the coastal wildlife species. All we can do now is pray the leak can be capped and the oil contained as quickly as possible. I hate to think of our children still trying to clean this mess up in decades to come. As I post this, the smell of oil has entered the air and with it an impending sense of doom. We love our coastal life, go away oil!
