Mom, daughter, and pet dog

Today was pretty windy at the beach.  Blowing sand kept many people on the boardwalk and away from the shoreline.  As I was leaving I took this shot of this family sitting just off the steps that lead onto the beach. Didn't realize their pet dog was part of this crew until checked out the pic later.  You can tell how windy it was by the white caps on the ocean.  Long lens gave me a better result than I expected.  Brought back memories of our visits to the beach with the kids as they grew up only a few steps from the sand and surf.
