The Jones Girls

We were lucky enough to get re-acquainted with Cliff’s cousin, Doug.  He lives a couple of blocks from our house.     Doug brought over his girlfriend Sandy over so we could meet her.    This women is a true peach and I just love her.   

They both invited me to take a look at their beach that they had along a beautiful river in their backyard.   I was imagining this rediculous little swimming hole.  

Well, when i stepped onto their property, I was blown away.     They truly have a sandy beach the stretches out to the river.  They took me on a little nature walk and was I surprised when before me was the most beautiful water falls, right there on their property.    Totally cool!!    Sandy’s house was beautiful    Their whole property is just beautiful.   They invited us to spend the day at their beach the next day.

So on Sunday, the next day, Mindy, my niece, Grandma and Grandpa Belden joined us at Doug and Sandy’s Paradise Beach Resort.   I suprised the girls with shovels and buckets to play with down at the sandy beach.   They played with an innertube and we walked them through the water.  It was a truly amazing and beautiful experience.  

Then we had a cook out.  Sandy made this awesome homemade pasta salad that had us begging for seconds.   Doug is quite the barbecue guy and grilled up some amazing food!!   

We could have stayed all night.  Unfortunately we had to call it a day because the next day we were heading back to Boston to fly back to Los Angeles.  Gosh I had wished that we had met sooner and could have enjoyed other days at their Beach Resort during out time in VT.

Sandy and I have made fast friends and we have promised each other that when we are there, we will be spending some quality time with them on the Paradise Beach Resort.    We are also planning on them coming out to visit us in California for a vacation in February.

Thanks for a beautiful day Sandy and Doug!!
