Tradition.

The word of beach week with my extended family is tradition. Those experiences that we’ve come to rely on year after year.

The Official Drink® of summer: Capri Sun Surfer Cooler. It can be hard to find, but it’s well worth it.

Crabbing. This year I managed to not catch any my first time out, which was unnatural and sad. Today I caught 3, and one was a biggie.

Frozen custard from Kohr’s. There are newfangled flavor combos available, like banana-strawberry, and raspberry-something, but the classic, orange-vanilla, is the only way to go.

There are new traditions, too, of course–and simply some images and moments that say “I am at the beach.”

But most of all, it’s about time with family. Who else do you build so many traditions with?
