An Ocean in Motion.

Who doesn’t love the ocean? If you live near an ocean and can visit anytime that you like, you are lucky. We lived in Southern Florida for five years and our favorite part, bar none about Florida, the ocean. We spent almost every single weekend that we lived there at the beach. I don’t think that a weekend went by that we weren’t at the beach at least one of the days. The ocean is so calming, so beautiful and so exciting, we had endless hours of free fun at the beach. This is the one major thing that we miss now that we live in Colorado. On our recent ten day stay at the beach in Southern Florida, we had a blast. It was so fun to play in the warm waves of the ocean and watching Eben learn how to snorkel was amazing. He has zero fear of the ocean and wanted to spend every moment in the water. We built huge sand castles, collected seashells, dived through the waves and watched the fish.

Eben enjoyed picking up and observing the jellyfish that washed up on shore. {unfortunately, deceased}

It was a lovely trip that only secured the fact that we will be visiting the beach every year from now on.

Do you live near an ocean? a beach? which one?
Do you enjoy your time at the beach?

Enjoy.
xo.

    I am a certified beach bum…that said I have not had an actual vacation or been to the beach since September 2005. I grew up going to the beach every year and have gone nearly every year of my life for at least a week at a time. To me the ocean is where we all came from…we all sweat saltwater and we are all 70% water in make up…because of this, I find much peace and feelings of oneness when I am standing on the shore. Watching the waves and listening to the seabirds is the most relaxing spiritually satisfying thing to me in the world.

    I live by Lake Michigan in Chicago, I love walking along the lake because it’s always changing, always telling me something new. My husband and I also love to vacation in warm spots and one of our favorite beach locations is the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. The beach is a great place to just to enjoy being.
