Living on the beautiful south end of the island means easy access to the beach at Fort Ward—a favorite family destination for Alex Sanso, her partner Dawn Weaver and their 10-year-old son Kai Sanso-Weaver. When her partner and son were able to clamber up onto an ancient log due to perfect tidal timing, Sanso managed to grab her iPhone just in time. “I was busy poking around the beach with our dog, Kacey, when I looked up and found this scene. I felt like I was witnessing a sacred moment.” Sometimes two moms can be better than one.
