23 May Gone Baby Gone
Since I am about out the door for an adventure filled holiday weekend with 12 10-year-olds at Surf Camp (yes we’ve had thundershowers for 24 hours now, oh joy) I thought I’d post my Best Shot Monday today! I won’t be home until Monday afternoon (unless of course we get rained out) so we’ll just call this a Best Shot weekend!
After reading the Parent Bloggers Blog Blast prompt, I got all weepy and nostalgic about the days when I’d take my daughters to the beach when they were babies. Sunhats and big bottomed bikinis stuffed with swim diapers are a thing of the past for this family-she says half heartbroken and half with a sigh of relief-but our beach excursions will hopefully go on and on.
Even though the chance of thunderstorms will be in effect through this holiday weekend, I am still going to post an ode to my favorite place in all the world…the beach.
May you all enjoy your weekend, whatever it may hold.

Posted at 05:35h, 26 MayI love the beach! Unfortunately my husband doesn’t care for the local beach, so we’ve only been once since we’ve been married (almost 6 years!) Isn’t that sad?

Posted at 16:08h, 26 MayI grew up near the beach and it is my absolute fav place to be. But since I now (unfortunately) live in a big city, I find it harder to find a favorite place to photograph.
