Honeymoon: 31 Years of OCDing Beach Finds




Jeff and I just spent a delightful three days at the beach in Delaware to celebrate our 31st anniversary.  Yay for summer time.  Along with some good seafood and Mexican food (where we took the butterfly picture),  I gathered some sea glass and sea pottery, as well as some crab shells and other ocean stuff for our school science collection. 

We went to the beach on our real honeymoon (Jeff calls every anniversary trip a honeymoon), and I found stuff on the beach there, too--and on every other trip to the beach we've ever made.  Science stuff is just great to find.  

 It rained, just as it did on our wedding day, and we saved over twenty horseshoe crabs which were stranded when the tide went out.  Here are some pictures of my finds.

oysters, angel wing shells, sea slippers, barnacles (on shells), and a vertebrae from something 

I love all the different colors and sizes of crab shells.  The tiny one is my favorite.
