Long Beach


This is a picture of where we will be spending our week and this...

is a view from our beach house.

Best intentions have had to be laid aside for the blog as packing and organizing have decended upon the house the last few days. As I hurry around this morning packing suitcases and tidying up, making sure we have enough sunscreen, water, books, games...underwear... I am relishing in the thought that in a few hours I will be on the open road with my husband, enjoying his company as we drive and listen to ABBA. It will kill him that I know all the words to every song and will sing my guts out and then he will play punk rock and our kids will giggle and bob there heads like only children of a punk rock loving father can.

When we arrive we will smell the shore, there is nothing quite as uplilfting and refreshing that makes my heart sing like the ocean. I'm looking forward to a walk on the beach tonight alongside Josh as the kids forage for shells and bring us long lengths of seaweed and driftwood. I want to wiggle my toes in the sand and face the tide with my toes. Games and quiet and play...all week long. This is vacation!

We will be back next weekend, see you then!

I would love some info also on the beach house you're renting. That sounds delightful! Isn't the ocean amazing!?

I loved reading your blog this morning, Kristen. It is so inspiring and appreciative of life!

Let's get together when you're back in Wenatchee. I really enjoyed that dinner our families shared and the fun of watching the kids play - Jones jumping into the pool, the girls playing, Lael - so cute and smily -- her giggles!!

Have a great week! -Clara
