I thought it would be fun to start a regular Friday feature that is all about dream getaways… Kind of a bucket list/inspiration list of places and thing.. Want to come along?
(all pictures found on Pinterest under “Beach, Summer and Coastal”)
Summer is almost over and I haven’t been to the beach. Of course I haven’t been to the beach in a few years, but every summer the craving comes up.
Did you know that I used to live near the beach? I did. For 3 years my family lived in Largo, Florida. Which is near Clearwater, which is near Tampa. I was only a kid, so I didn’t not get to fully embrace beach life, but a small piece of it remains in me. A small craving for the way the clouds look above the ocean, the way wet mushy sand feels beneath my toes. Sand just like this.
If I could go to the beach I would want to spend my mornings walking down a path like this
My afternoons napping here
And my evenings with my Sweet Man here
I would want to dine on this
And drink lots of these
I would want to wear this
And this
And of course a floppy hat
And I would gather lovely mementos to always remember my calm and beautiful days under the clouds and the stars, with only the sea and the sand beneath my feet..

I live near the beach, but no beaches like that! I live along the west coast in Canada. It is still beautiful, just in a different way. Oh, and I want that bathing suit! So, adorable!

There is something very rejuvenating at the beach…I get my fix a few times a year by driving to Cape Cod….I love to walk the beach alone and just THINK, THINK, THINK – there is nothing more serene!

Me too! Me too! I'm heading to the beach tomorrow afternoon; there won't be many more opportunities in 2011!
(PS – Even though I'm 3 days late, I'm Thursday confessing today!) Love your blog!

This post just made me so so happy. I want to go there but I'd have a matching swimsuit, you okay with that? 🙂 Because that one is to die for!!
