Note to self: remember to use the dusk/dawn setting next time.
After our walk on the beach, which we all agreed we should have taken sooner, we headed back to the house for dessert (poached pears!) and an impromptu fashion show by Kaitlyn and her nieces. By the end of the show we were all wearing some fabulous hat, wig, or piece of jewlery and I was bummed out that my camera flashed it's "exhausted battery" message at me. Some things are better left to the imagination I suppose! It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. Many thanks to Kaitlyn and Eric for hosting all of us. You two totally outdid yourselves! It was so strange for Dave and I to be guests instead of the ones hosting, but it was a welcome reprieve too. It was indeed another wonderful day full of memories that we will all carry with us forever.
I can see why you could "get behind" life at the beach. Their home is stunning. My favorite place in the world is Cape Cod. I love it there. Just crossing the bridge soothes me. I can only imagine what it must be like to live with that view and the sounds of waves lapping against the shore all the time.........
ReplyDeleteOh Jess, it really is heavenly! My parents built our house in Bethany (back in the late 80s (when everyone else was building) and I remember the first night we spent there thinking it was too quite without the sound of the waves from Long Island Sound. While I totally consider Bethany my hometown and the town I grew up in, starting life out with the beach as our backyard is something I will always treasure! My first year of life my parents lived on a houseboat in Norwalk, so until we moved water had always been part of my world! The peace that comes with having the ocean in your backyard and the many adventures that life on the beach provides cannot ever be topped!
