And my winning photo...
Thank you everyone! I feel like I can fly higher than I ever have before!
Okay, now about my holiday at my most favorite place in the world, the beach... Man, have I got a lot to tell ya! There's no way I can fit everything into one post, so I'm going to have to do a number of posts over the next few days about my vacation.
Now, where should I start? Well, we left at about 8:30 in the morning, so we could get to the ferry boats and try to catch an early one. We had tried to reserve a spot on the ferry, but the earliest we could reserve for was at 6:30 P.M.! What a busy day! But because only a certain percent of the ferries could be reserved, we decided to go early and see if we could ever get on before 6:30. We were very shocked the moment we got there, when we were put on the 9:15 A.M. ferry! We thought we'd have to wait all day, but we didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes this time. The only sad part was that I had to stay in the big van while the rest of my humans went up on the upper decks to relax for the hour ride to land again. I was very sad to be alone for almost a whole hour, but I was brave and I survived.
After we reached land again, we drove for a few minutes to Gibson's Landing, and stopped to look around for a bit. Look at all the boats!
While we were on the dock, this seagull dived into the water and came up with a starfish about two times the size of it's head. He swallowed the whole starfish, then barfed it back up, then swallowed the whole thing down again. My human mom was already feeling sick, and after she saw what the seagull did, she didn't feel good for the rest of the day.
We drove until we came to a fish 'n chips place, ate there, and then drove for another hour 'till we got to the second ferry boat. We waited for almost two hours there, then got on the ferry for another hour's ride across the water. I had to stay in the van again while everyone got out on the boat decks, but I managed to survive by myself once again! After landing on shore, we drove for another 15 minutes, turned down a long driveway in the forest, and came out to a cottage right on... Can you guess? The beach! What a lovely place it was!
I have to run now, but I will be back soon to share all the wonderful and scary and amazing adventures I had!

I walked my humans out on the dock to enjoy the view of the ocean...
