She moved a few years back and we don't get to spend as much time together as we used to.
I grabbed my camera so I could take photos along the way on our trip! I was so excited.
I was heading out of our driveway and was stopped by "a deer crossing"... My first chance to photograph the beginning of our trip.....
He is so close! I snap the photo..........and right after he heard the click of the camera he bolted...........
So this car......is NOT them........though I do think they wondered why I was taking their photo....
I was hesitant to take this photo but really though it was them this time.....
Yeah!!! It's my friend Sharon!! I love her!....
It was Sharon and we were hittin' the highway.....I'm so glad we get to go on this trip together!
Sharon and I couldn't talk enough about how lucky we are to have our Hunks. They were both sooooooo supportive over us taking this trip together. How blessed are we?
We got in the car and didn't stop talking until we were there...... Then I remembered I was supposed to be taking photos.......
When you hear me say "It's all about the food"........this is the friend this saying started with....
Sharon lets her Hunk know that we made it and I head out to check out my tree's in the backyard...
The previous owners insisted on taking them..... I was so sad.... Then as they came to pic them up it started tearing up the brick patio......
Well........we got to keep the tree's.
And this is the view from in front of our house looking down at the ocean. There are stairs at the end of the street that lead down to the beach.
I can feel the stress melting away....... I LOVE water, I love the ocean, I love the lake, I love a waterfall or a pond. Any water. It is so relaxing to me. It is such a reminder of all the beauty God has created for us......
And this my friends was the last photo I took of our trip. There were MANY more photos to be taken. So many fun times to document...... But I FORGOT my camera at the house.
I just enjoyed my time with one of my very best friends.....
Sorry I had a lapse in posts.......but now you see, I was on a much needed vacation with a wonderful friend.......
Another good friend once told me "WE ALL DESERVE A LITTLE PEACE IN OUR LIVES"........and I agree 100%......and I'm so thankful I have a Hunk who agrees and supports me in my occasional getaways and that I have great friends to getaway with.
Ciao Bellas~
I am so glad you got to get away. You totally deserve it. Sharon is the best friend you could have to get away with too!

ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie! It was nice to see you in my inbox! :> Girlfriend getaways really are one of the best things in the world (aside from kidlet feet running to greet you or a hug from Hubby, right?!). My girls and I haven't gotten away for one in a few years. :< But, two of the three of my closest girlfriends (we're known as the Four Musketeers....for about twenty years now) were able to come up and visit with my fam and I this weekend and that was WONDERFUL!! We even skyped with one of those friend's Mamas, so that she could see my kidlets. And it was so good to see her face and hear her voice as well. I'm glad you had such a fantastic time with your girlfriend....and at the coast at that. I'm a hop, skip, and a jump from our coast and am in need of a visit, for sure! :> Wishing you a super Sunday! :>:>
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Sharon had a great trip. So glad you got to get away for awhile. You deserve it!!
ReplyDelete♥ Jealous! :) It looks like such a blast! I haven't been on a getaway for forever!
