We had 2 weeks left before my return to work, Ella's return to Montessori, and Derek's fall classes. It was definitely time to join the Sands clan and head south for our annual trip to the beach. In the matter of 10 days, we were able to experience:
A first exposure to beach life...
a few good laughs...
and I realized that this family can laugh through a hurricane...
(or maybe just blessed.)
Lastly, we made time for a few afternoon naps
and some important family huddles.
We got home last night and I am already thinking ahead to what next Tuesday brings. This magical summer will come to an end and we'll all get back on the hamster wheel. I am trying not to think about it, but it looms ahead like an approaching storm cloud.
But I'll save my thoughts on that for another post. For now I'm basking in the golden afterglow of a week at the shore.
