The sun smiles down from above, waves tickle my toes while soft sand squishes lightly beneath my feet. The sweet smell of freshly applied sunscreen and the taste of salt hang in the thick air. A toddler is giggling, splashing and exploring the ocean shore for the first time, stopping to explore shells, the water and even taste the sand. My toddler. Excitedly leading her daddy down the beach during her first visit to her grandpa’s neck of the woods. A moment made even better because of the people with us – the family with whom distance causes moments like this to be rare and all the more special.
And this…
is my new happy place.
Yes, I am so very thankful for vacations!

I love this pic. It’s beautiful. Welcome back! And I love the new look, by the way.
