Coronado Beachin'

How will I ever get over how gorgeous this part of California is? Saw a little bit of Coronado beach, and some of the "for sale" signs on picture perfect big and little houses, and instantly fell in love. If there was ever a goal to live somewhere closer to the ocean, I think for once, the hubby and I could agree that this town would be toward the top of the list.

For the past five months we had been dreaming about what our life would look like by the beach, in the hills, and at a chill pace. That dream has been realized. And lived. And I'm still in awe.

We collected many sea shells. Soaked up some vitamin sun. Danced in the ocean waves. Got sand in every possible place. And smiled. A LOT.

My guy was first to run to the water. <3 He was a good subject to photograph. He found the perfect set of shells too.

My little Mer-baby loved them. We washed them off and brought them home with us to start our beach collections!

She couldn't wait to make sand cakes, and trail motes around our toweled camp with her shovel, and decorate shell castles. I can't even count how many times she grabbed my hand and walked me toward the water's edge to find more shells accompanied by her gentle I love you's.

It has been the best day.
