Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach. The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...
Looks lovely. Monticello?
ReplyDeleteMonticello? Looks like it was a lovely day there.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Misty . . . and I would guess Monticello with the architecture, gardens and the T.J. initials. I've never been there and would love to visit! Thanks for sharing your Easter break trip with us!
ReplyDeleteI don't know... but it sure is beautiful!! Looks like a wonderful way to spend Easter break! :)
ReplyDeleteYou all are good guessers! Monticello - Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, Virginia is absolutely correct. It blew my mind. I didn't want to leave!
