Brent found a ladder and tried various doors and windows to no avail.
Zach and Brent both tried picking the locks. Zach looks like he'd make a good crook. Finally with the aid of both their knives and my own little Swiss Arm Knife (Grandpa and Gram, you'd be proud of me!) they opened one door only to find that it led to a mother-in-law suite that wasn't connected to the rest of the house! After more effort, they opened another door that led to an entry way and yet another locked door. It was too funny. 
Casey and Ashley were sent to pick up the key at the Beale's place, 45 minutes away. Eventually we just waited around. Here are Kelly, Zach, and Fes (whom I like to call Fezzic after the giant in the Princess Bride.)
And Rachel. In the back, the Brent and Zach are still working at the door. While Casey and Ashley were on the road, the rest of us headed to a restaurant. Even before the food arrived, we got a call saying they had gotten a flat tire. Various people stopped to help, but the tire was finally changed by a drunk Mexican man with a dead baby hammerhead shark in the back of his truck. No joke. They got back to the beach house around 11:30, but we couldn't complain. A beach house is not a bad place to get locked out of. I enjoyed a long, pleasantly lonely walk on the beach, of course with Billy Joel's "This is the Time to Remember" stuck in my head. (it starts with a line about walking on the beach.) And surprisingly the seriously softened ice cream has seemed to have suffered no ill effects. Life is good.

um there shouldn't be a line break after 'dead baby'.. i was horrified for a second. :-)
oh, that is unfortunate. But I claim no responsibility - you should use firefox or buy a mac and use safari. Line breaks will be found in more appropriate places.
:-)
for your information, i do use firefox. *sticks out tongue*
