#insaneroadtrip day 18

The nearing of day 20 is sorta freaking me out because I was so stressed the week before we left and now? Now we are almost on our way home. Crazy.

Today? Today was peaceful and amazing for my soul. The ocean is like the mountains for me. Something about the expanse of the open water just blows my mind. The girls? They loved the ocean.








I even got my Shrinking Jeans bootcamp workout done on the beach. This was my view.



Listening to the waves crash in and the girls screeching? It was still perfect.

Afterwards we came home and had lunch and rested. Then we hit the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD. We had Thrashers fries (yum!)






Then we bought the girls shaved ice



My parents also took them on the big ferris wheel at the end if the boardwalk.


Now? Now we are enjoying delish pizza and red wine. I would have taken a picture of the pizza but I was hungry and it's gone. Buts here's a picture of the wine.



Tomorrow we head to Calabash, NC for the night and then on to Charleston.

    What a great day! So jealous of your time at the beach, but maybe even more jealous of the wine.

    I just keep getting more and more jealous. My favorite places are the mountains and the ocean and you've hit both.

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
