Gloucester, MA

Today I finally started going through the photos from our visit with my sister in Massachusetts. We had a wonderful time with Sarah and Jeff – we love them and miss them so much!

This was our first time seeing Sarah’s beautiful new apartment by the sea. I LOVED it! When we arrived, we looked around her place for a bit, then went for a walk in her neighborhood and picked up  food to bring to a nearby ocean-side park for a picnic.

Gabe had a fabulous time playing with his Auntie in the awesome playground there. Next, we put the kids in strollers and went for a walk along the coast.

When it was nap-time, we headed back to Sarah’s and the big kids played Rummikub while the little ones rested. Before supper, we took another walk down to the sea to stroll along the boardwalk then met up with my friend Cheryl at a local seafood place for dinner.

We packed a lot of fun into one short day :). Believe it or not, I still have more photos of this day left to look through!!

Daydreams of the Beach

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.
Psalm 24:1-2

Since today I’m daydreaming of being by the sea, let’s take a look back at some beach photos of Chris and me from years past…

When we were in high school (Martha’s Vineyard 1994):

Still teens, but college students now (Rocky Neck State Park 1998):

Here we are officially a couple again after a 6 1/2 year break (long story). FYI: that’s not really the hairstyle Chris had back then, he let me “play” with his hair that day – luckily that was the last time hehe (Rocky Neck State Park 2001):

Jump ahead to our honeymoon a few years later. Interesting fact, that natural bridge has since collapsed into the sea (Aruba 2003):

Our little Cape Cod getaway a couple of summers ago (Dennis Beach 2008):

I’m so thankful for these lovely memories of the beach with my best friend!
