Valona's 100th Birthday

This year marks 100 years that the Story's family coast house in Valona was in the family-- that's six generations of familys!  It's such a fun place to visit and with a great view, shaded front lawn, and constant breeze, it's the perfect spot for a party with just about all of the family and some local friends.  Amy coordinated the best celebration with matching t-shirts, tons of old pictures, delicious food, and tons of red, white, and blue decorations.
