Sea Shells


1. Sea shells, 2. Sea shells, 3. sea shells, 4. Sea Shells on the sea shore

Growing up in a sea side town has given me a life long love of shells. Collecting them is actually on of my favorite beach activities (I absolutely will not go beyond calf deep in water I can't see through so swimming on the California coastline is pretty much out for me). I love coming through the sand, seeing tiny corners peeking out while the wet sand squishes deliciously between my toes. It's like a magical treasure hunt where the jewels are instead tiny delicate shells in an impossible number of colors and varieties. I keep a small box of my treasures and I love looking at it and allowing those tactile memories to flood back.

What are your favorite beach-side activities?

Hazelnut coffee is delicious. Unfortunately caffeine has no effect on me, but the flavor is a nice change. SIX MORE HOURS!! And so the home stretch begins...

  1. Six more hours, yes, but we've already done three times that many! It's all downhill (and gorgeous shells) from here. :)
