Happy Place

No beach for us this summer with the arrival of Parker J.  A decent trade off though.  So, by October I was practically crawling my way toward the water.  There is something about staring into the ocean -- especially the crystal clear waters of the Gulf -- that washes away all the weariness and stress of the everyday.  I think I breathe a little easier near water.

Not to mention Seaside gets my vote for happiest. little. place. on. the. planet.

I want to go back.

(These are all out of order but I'm too tired to fix... Yawn...)

This kid.  Right???

 He looks like E.T. here.  Not his best look.

These two played some serious card games.

 She's a magician.  I was stumped by an ultra-cheap hello kitty magic trick.  Truly. 

I love her. A lot lot lot lot lot.

Not sure what this was about.

Loved spending time with my brother.  Really did.

 This one makes my heart crazy happy.

This moment.  Totally impromptu.  Out walking on the beach at sunset.  Capturing a true moment of bliss.
