Sandy Sunset Sunday's

"our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone."

Our happy place- the beach. And a HUGE reason why we moved earlier this year. As kids, Mike and I both vacationed with our family to the beach in the summer...Ocean City, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head and even "Lake Erie" which we totally THOUGHT was a beach. Some of the greatest memories I have are with my family in the sand.  I remember spending hours walking up and down the shore searching for sea shells with my mom.  I used to LOVE getting in the big inflatable raft with my dad and watching him get hammered by one wave after another just so I could get a good ride. So for Mike and I to now own a home that is a 40 minute train ride into Manhattan and a 15 minute car ride to the beach...well, we finally feel HAPPY (and maybe even a little bit relaxed- what? I KNOW).

Searching for the perfect shell.  Although the shells here in NY are not much to look at, the kids don't care.  They always find them unique and interesting which we LOVE.

A pink bucket naturally :-)

Our Cooper…growing up way too fast and losing WAY TO MANY TEETH! LOL

Can't leave the beach without burying your little sister in the sand...

Or jumping on Daddy and making him work his abs for Aladdin…

Me and my littles…
