Cherishing Life at Home

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #077 Sometimes, when I’m away on vacation, I get caught up in the simplicity of being away from it all.  The responsibilities are less (even if you’re still cooking meals and cleaning), and we don’t have all of the outside activities.  It’s easy to idealize the situation. Walks on beaches ~ Playing Games ~ Relaxing Who wouldn’t want it all to remain the same?  A simplistic, easier lifestyle tends to call out to all of us – especially when “real” life holds many obligations.

I was working on getting some of our homeschooling projects organized when I saw Munchkin’s long, slender fingers slowly push the door to our room open. She peaked inside…

A Week at the Beach

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #073 Our trailer backed up to the beach, so we could literally walk just a few feet and be on the beach.  This was our view.  The campground is also a marina, so we watched many sailboats come and go as we strolled the beach.  While this beach was nice, we did head over to the other side of the island, so we could enjoy the rolling ocean waves.  While that side is just across the road, you can’t really stroll on the beach at that point due to the Navy Seal training taking place.  We went…
