Oh spring, where are you? I keep thinking you're close by, and then winter comes charging in again with rain and wind in a mere 40 degrees (or sometimes 30!). Winter's been kind of a bully this year. I'm starting to get nervous that we'll miss spring completely, and that it will go from being freezing straight to hot and sticky.
The one thing getting me through this brutal spring - or lack thereof - is going to the beach. Where I can feel the sunshine on my face and take long walks outside, even if I have to wear more clothing than I'd prefer. Last weekend we met my family at Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks. It was so much fun to relax and get some quality time with my family, and also get that much needed vitamin D! We stayed in a funny little resort right on the water - the Star Wars pods, as we fondly called them. We also explored the dunes at Jockey's Ridge. I had no idea they would be that big! It literally felt like I went to the desert, except of course that there was water not too far away in any direction. We had fun jumping off the dunes and I got to try some new things with my camera. All in all it was a fantastic weekend! The only thing missing was going to church on Easter Sunday. That was a little strange to miss out on and it definitely wasn't the same listening to a sermon on the drive home. I am thankful to go to a church that I really miss when I'm not there.
You're going to hate me, but tonight I'm headed to Florida to visit Michael's grandma. I know... I am getting so spoiled with trips this spring! Michael has a work trip in Miami next week, and it just made sense to tack on a weekend getaway. It's supposed to be sunny and in the 80s all weekend. I am SO EXCITED. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
i love the jumping over the dunes pictures! haha. looks like a beautiful and fun time! happy (belated) easter!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, if it has to be a colder spring than normal - the beach is DEFINITELY the place to be! I hope you have fun in Florida! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the action shots! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI am a little jealous of your beach trips but so happy to hear you are enjoying the sunshine! Someone needs to!
ReplyDeleteI love your shots of everyone leaping in the dunes! Did you take a turn or just play photographer?
i am so jealous you get to the outer banks so easily - so many wonderful childhood memories there. it's so cool that's it's accessible for you. hope the FL trip was fun - i'm having a good time living vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun weekend! I am SO ready to get to the beach... we have just another month until our first beach trip and I. can't. wait. I don't know about where you are, but this week it definitely feels like we skipped from winter to summer. We had to turn on our AC yesterday!
