Beach Week
I was fortunate to spend a a quiet week at the beach with my family last week. It was a time for reading, sitting on the beach and just relaxing - a needed break. It was sunny most of the time, but also windy so even though the temps were warm, the wind was chilly. But my daughter and I still enjoyed sitting on the beach and catching the rays.
