This is so NOT the point… but….
My daughter FLIPPED over the last photo! She’s a HUGE Sarah Dessen fan!
See… you’re hip with the teenage crowd!

Nothing like a little r&r…your summer sounds fabulous! and those pictures are so dreamy…
these photos are beautiful — and summer adventures/relaxation sound like perfection. xo
Oh, I need some major R&R this summer! I am so happy, I get to see the ocean for the first time! Have a lovely weekend!

I too was happy to see that stack of Sarah Dessen novels! The Truth About Forever was a book that completely touched my heart, and expresses so much about being a teen at the same time. If you get a chance, read it!
I’m jealous!! We have nothing planned – I’ll live vicariously through you!
That looks and sounds like a perfect summer. Me and my husband are taking a 2 day getaway to the Oregon Coast and I can’t wait!! Of course, it isn’t til August, so I have a while to wait :)
Looks like a wonderful plan! Have a great week.
Another Sarah Dessen fan who was oh-so-happy to see a stack of her books! :)
Those pictures are amazing. That looks like the perfect summer vacation!
those photos are so lovely!! have you decided where you’re going for your anniversary? we may just do something fun around here.
