Jana "Banana" Thornton is a native of Bath, Maine and has fallen in love with her adopted home of South Carolina. A bit of a late bloomer, she is very proud of finally learning to ride a bicycle and rides along the beach every chance she gets. Jana Banana loves taking photos and if you are not careful, she just may snap one of you!

Strolling down the pier at night under the moon and stars, holding hands with the person you love most in the world sounds romantic, doesn't it? It's a script out of a Hollywood movie, right down to the sounds of the ocean waves beneath the pier …
Our boys love the beach more than anything in the world. They spent a full day playing- digging holes in the sand, finding treasures and learning to jump the waves. Both boys ate their lunch like little hungry puppies, chewing their sandwiches quickly so…
