Rules For Going To The Beach: A Photo Journal Of The Nelson Family Vacation
September 2, 2008

Rule #1:
On vacation, you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, where ever you want even if it means chocolate pudding in the early afternoon while in the bed.












Rule #2:
Anyone in your party is subject to random acts of torture by the crazy uncle.  Beware!











Rule #3:
Don't forget your shades!












Rule #4:
Never miss an opportunity to save the earth and the creatures in it!











Rule #5:
Always make sure that people are strategically placed in photos that contain nude mermaids!







Rule #6:
Make sure you have enough places for everyone in your party to sleep!  Things can get crowded in a large family!







Rule #7:
If you want to have a good time, make sure you bring a baby sitter!  Thanks, Grandma!







Rule #8:
Always tip the pirate with the balloon animals.  He may be the only shot you get at a decent meal!










Rule #9:
Never smile when you are making fun of European baby products ads!  (Yes, this is really what we do on vacation.  You should see the entire set of photos!)  Krystal & Skyla were cheesing a little too much to be truly euro-fab!  And Krystal, why are you standing like a stork?!?  





Rule #10:
Be prepared to get sand in places where sand just does not belong.






Rule #11:
Be careful who you take with you.  :)








Rule #12:
Make sure that there is photographic evidence that you were on the vacation, too!








Addendum:
According to Alle, rule #13 is that I should take my dear friend and her children next year.  Deal!  Here's the photo for rule #13.  Love you, girl!
