See my first trip to the beach.

Anyway, we were in North Carolina at a beach house about a half hour away from Wilmington, where my dad’s cousin, Carolyn Crouch, and her family live. Obviously we had to visit them! For any of you that don’t know, Mom and Dad first started dating in 1998 when Dad was in Kansas City and Mom was in Chicago. They decided to first meet each other on neutral ground in St. Louis. At the time, the Crouch family lived there, so they were the first of Dad’s family to get to meet Mom! The last time Mom and Dad saw them was Christmas 2001, when they announced that I was going to be born.

Early on in our visit, Carolyn’s husband Floyd decided to get out a guitar. Little did he know just how interested I was in musical instruments – and that I’d been playing my own toy guitar at the beach all week. Soon I was getting lessons from him as well as Carolyn and Floyd’s oldest sons Dustin and Matt. Matt even sang for us!
I also decided to showcase my shutterbug talent and snapped this shot of Carolyn. Really, I took this picture! Of course, Dad cropped it a bit… May 21, 2004 – Carolyn Crouch
May 21, 2004 – Jesse Crouch Dad pried the camera back away from me after that to snap this picture of Jesse, Carolyn and Floyd’s yongest.
I also got to meet dad’s Aunt Sara and Uncle Ralph. They drove up from Georgia to see Matt graduate from high school and to meet me for the first time! May 21, 2004 – Sara and Ralph Potts
The visit definitely was too short, but hopefully we’ll be back to the beach again soon and will be able to see the Crouch family again!
