one week until we hit the road and i can't stop smiling (also quitting my job, it's going to be a good friday). by the time we get back it will be september, where did the summer months go?

building last minute deck chairs, packing bicycles and sun hats and looking at maps, real paper maps!
oh the cheese and wine, oh the sun on my skin. this has been long overdue, and now i just dream of getting in the salty surf.

happy weekend, packing packing packing.

we had been tricked by spring, a little bit.  except for that one weekend, we set up camp on the black beach and we woke up to the swell, soft and deep just outside the doors.  we wandered down after coffee, march waves, and my bikini even made an appearance.  so long, since then it's been back to the blankets.

i can barely stand to stare at a screen these days. end of the day, no more! my eyes yell.
and so i don't.
