Memorial Day Weekend (AKA work weekend) in pictures

As long as I've lived, Memorial Day Weekend has been known as "Work Weekend" in my family because it is the weekend my family and aunts, uncles, and cousins open up our summer home on Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island. Since the house is on the beach and the salt water can be really damaging, the big project is usually repairing/replacing boards on both decks and scraping/painting both decks. There's other stuff too, but the decks are the big projects usually. This year was tough since the weather was so great and it was tempting to just sit on the beach. We did get some beach time in though, so it was a great weekend all around! See for yourself...
