The Beach (with Gussy Sews!)

You all know I love the beach. (After all, “getting tan” is listed as one of my interests on Facebook. No shame.) Since I married my studly fella, I’ve been so blessed to live within a minute of the water! We’re some lucky duckies here!

The trouble is, lately I’ve been feeling stressed and overwhelmed and to-do listed out… and I started realizing that I don’t take time to enjoy the incredible place we live. So last night Adam and I decided that rather than spend a bunch of money and time on a big vacation this summer, we’re just going to go surf-fishing, kayaking, sun-tanning and relaxing right here in our backyard. I’m already excited – I can’t wait to give myself some days off and enjoy the warm water (for Southern California, anyways) and sand with my hardworking fella.

But… just because we’re staying home this summer doesn’t mean I can’t recall some great trips we’ve taken… mainly our HONEYMOON to Costa Rica, where this picture was taken.

It’s so much easier to kick back and give yourself a full hour to savor your morning coffee or time to sleep in or talk or hike or frolic when you’re in a foreign country – but I’m going to strive to play as hard as I work for the rest of the summer.

Also, head over to Gussy for more beachiness!

  1. Hi Dani! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I agree with you on everything about SoCal. So beautiful, but so expensive. I think you are right… live somewhere else that allows you to afford to travel…and then travel to San Diego! I definitely think your plans to stay home for the summer sound great when you have so much beauty and so many awesome recreation options all around you! Have fun!!!
