This past weekend, we made a quick trip over to the West coast to visit Sanibel Island. We were celebrating my husband's birthday as well as kicking off our summer travel. After almost a week of heavy rains:
1) We were grateful the rain stopped for our arrival to Sanibel on Saturday afternoon.
2) We had dinner plans with college friends who live in the area. We also hung out on the beach after dinner to watch the beautiful sunset while our children played.
3) Champagne on the beach Sunday morning:
4) Tons of shells! My daughter and I brought plenty home to use for future craft projects.
We stayed at the Island Inn
Sanibel Lighthouse
5) The storms waited to roll in until we were crossing the causeway to head back to the mainland:
I'm also linking up with Project Alicia's Summer Daze series.
I love the beach! It is absolutely my happy place and where its easiest for me to listen to/talk with God. Naturally we live 100 miles from the nearest beach!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we traveled 4.5 hours from home to visit Sanibel, we are fortunate to live about 20 minutes from the beach. Hope to spend lots of time there this upcoming weekend if the weather is nice.
DeleteChampagne on the beach...you're my type of girl! Great pics! The ocean puts me on cloud nine...so relaxing and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad I didn't even bother with a glass? :)
DeleteThose pictures just made me want to pack up and go to the beach. I probably won't get to go until next year!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week! :)
