It isn't really summer until...

You go to the beach.

For the Southern California girl in me beaches=summer and it hasn't started until you've spent one whole day at the beach. As a kid it was all about playing in the ocean and pretending we were exploring exotic locations and finding creatures of the deep. As an adult beaches are about pure relaxation. A good book and the sun are all I need and this is what I am craving right now! Luckily next week is our anniversary which means our second honeymoon! Yay! (Daniel loved our honeymoon to the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean so much last year he decided he wanted to do one every year. Sure honey!) That means this time next week i'll be lounging beach side in the Dominican Republic. When you only get one trip a year you've got to make the best of it right?

What makes summer for you? Do you have specific plans you do every year? Let's chat!
