Waves
Back home after a perfectly wonderful getaway. My brain is racing in all directions and I'm uberoverwhelmed with it all. It felt so good to not have to THINK for a few days. Which wine should we order? Should we walk this way, or that along the beach? Ahh, it felt a relief really.
I snapped hundreds of pictures. The drive was so scenic. Colorful.
A treat to the eyes and mind.
The setting when we arrived was lovely beyond words....
It was cloudy and cool but we were grateful it wasn't raining so we could walk the beach without getting soaked. (and without getting my camera wet. heaven forbid!) We found ourselves hypnotized by the ocean. You know how that is? It's like staring into a campfire... only not. The rhythm of the waves crashing on the rocks and the way they make patterns on the beach as they go in and back out again......
We ate and drank. We walked and explored. We visited wineries and just had a blast! It was relaxing and renewing and really, really fun to be away from it all. I needed the escape.
The kids and cats were just fine this time, but coming home still had its usual dose of reality. This week will be a difficult one at work. I'll write more about that later. Also, I got some sad news about a friend...One of our teachers just learned she has cancer - quite advanced. I'm so sad and scared for her. I know what she's facing now, and I want so much to tell her everything is going to be okay. I'll tell her that. I hope it will be...

While looking at your pictures I started thinking about when the last time was that we got away to do nothing but relax. It's been over a year!
