this weekend has been one of the laziest, most wonderfully relaxing ones ever.
but not like lazy on the couch. more like lazy on a blissful, hot beach.
our family has a tradition to hit the beach up every Memorial Day weekend.
so on Saturday, we totally hit it up.
we pulled out the swimsuits, the beach chairs, umbrellas and sunscreens and dove right into that refreshing cool Atlantic ocean water.
we swam until our arms ached.
we ate snacked on chips and ate capri suns till we couldn't have another.
we sat outside on the sand on our towels till our faces turned pink.
then we all came home and crashed.
it was the perfect day to kick off summertime.
what are you up to this Memorial Day weekend?
on a more serious note, may we remember the lives of men and women that have served
and those lives that were lost for the sake of our country.
may God bless America!
much love.
[happy Memorial Day, friend!]

ReplyDeleteI should be at the beach right now. Living my life as a California girl. But I am not however.I am inside my dark apartment wondering when I will feel rested enough to get into my car and do something. Maybe I will go back in my room and lay down for a nap. ha ha. I am such an old woman.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the men and women who have served this country and given us the many liberties we take for granted. ESPECIALLY as women!! God bless America and may he continue to bless and hold up this great nation.
oh. And I see you showing off those great legs of yours. No one likes a bragger Illy.
