Sunday Show and Tell #2

Last week I did show and tell on Friday but since Mel is moving it to Sundays I will too.

Since it’s officially the kick off of summer, my thoughts naturally turn to the beach. I am a true sun worshiper. Who avoids tanning and burning at all costs because I don’t want to look like a saddlebag when I’m fifty. But still. I love the beach with every fiber of my being. I want to retire to a beach. Next month, if possible.

In June of 2006, when I was about four months pregnant with Bridget, we got the amazing opportunity to go to Hilton Head Island with Sarah and her HUSband and some friends to stay in a gorgeous house on the gorgeous beach for free. How do you say no to that?

Our first day on the island, after having gotten up at 3 a.m. for our 6:30 a.m. flight, the girls went to the grocery store to stock up on supplies for our stay. The men stayed to “unpack.” When we returned from the store, we found that their idea of unpacking including ditching us to go down to the beach.

This is what we found when we put on our suits and meandered down to find them.

I love this picture because when I see it, I just think about our whole trip and the lazy days spent playing in the waves, napping, reading, eating and being with good friends. I can’t see this picture without smiling.

We’ll be headed to Mexico in a little over two months and hopefully I’ll have some new photos to add to my collection of beach photos that make me smile.
