Here are a few more memories. I hope they paint a picture for you. 

How about kayaking with the dolphins?  It’s an unbelievable feeling of being one with nature in the beautiful Sea of Cortez.  Reading in bed with your grandson snuggled next to you, seeing the ocean just outside your window.  You wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and the very best breakfast burritos your son just made for you to enjoy on your oceanfront patio.  Playing darts, drinking cold beer with chips and salsa while the jukebox is playing and cheese crisps are sizzling on the grill is always a hit.

Thanksgiving dinner with family and extended family seaside with everyone saying what they’re thankful for before you enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving feast, which includes two turkeys, homemade pies and all the trimmings, is a family tradition. Having your Mom, at the age of 83 drive to Rocky Point, from Mesa, Ariz., with her older sister and your 80-year-old Godmother to share a fun time at the beach defies the odds, and shows, most and truly, that Rocky Point is a timeless gift.

One of the best memories is building sand castles with the grandchildren and then sitting at water’s edge together seeing the look of total joy on their faces.  We can’t forget star-gazing. Always waiting for a shooting star to appear and making a wish. Those are some of the gifts from a lifetime at our Rocky Point beach home, gifts that have blessed our family and friends again and again.

Today is the next generation. Our grandchildren who are current college students bring their friends to share our home and beach. Our son Vince and his wife Cindi rent a condo at Bella Sirena for a month during the summer to share with their family and friends.  Our oldest son, Shawn, is a mountain-bike enthusiast and one of his goals is to ride from Sonoyta to Rocky Point.

While tradition marches on, choices and changes continue to be part of our Legacy as we make our footprints on the white sandy beaches in Rocky Point, our paradise by the sea.
