Sun, Surf and Sand

Ok, raise your hand if you like to build sand castles!!! Are you the total artsy fartsy type that goes all out, bringing all sorts of different size buckets, shovels and other accessories to help you build that perfect sandcastle? Or are you like me? One bucket and one shovel and you just have fun? I love making sandcastles. Why? Because it means that I am at the beach somewhere warm and relaxing....sipping Long Island Ice Teas, Reading a book and listening to music.....oops...back to the sandcastles!!

Well most of you know that those of us here in the Pacific Northwest don't have the greatest beaches for making sandcastles...not like that white pristine sand down in the Caribbean. But now you don't even have to leave home to make that perfect sandcastle! You can make your own special castle online!!! Beaches Resort has made it easy to build a sandcastle online! You can use different sides to your castle, turrets, tops with windows and more. Then you can add accessories, change the color of your sandcastle and more. Then when you save it you can send it to friends and families to show off your great castle making skills!! You even get to name this great castle you made....mine is aptly named Rachel Ann's Place....I know no imagination!!

If you want to let your kids each make their own sandcastle what a great opportunity you have right at your fingertips! I thought it was totally simple to make this ecard...and so will your kids. Who knows you might have a budding sandcastle extradornaire in your midst. Check it out before you head out to the real beach so you can get some ideas rolling around in your head how you want your one of a kind, fantastic sandcastle to look......just watch out for those waves that come rolling in and wanting to destroy!!!

One more thing....once done making yours go back to the site and check out the galleries of sand castles that others made...they are really neat and original!
