My favorite memory is of our most recent vacation at the Dunes.  We have been visiting the Dunes for five summers and every year we bring our teenage son and his friend.  This past vacation they had both just graduated from high school so this was to be their last vacation together before heading off to college.  As I watched from our cabin, they crossed the dunes for one last time.  They have been best friends since first grade and as I watched them cross toward the ocean I wondered what they might be thinking during this important transition. And after taking the photo I noticed the bridge and it became a symbol of their crossing . . . a bridge which will lead them to excitement and possibilities... a bridge which connects what is known to the wonders of life.
