It feeds my soul. Renews my spirit.
A few weeks ago, I took my mom to Florida along with my sister. It was her 70th birthday present from us. The first time we have been away together just the three of us.
It was just a few days spent on the Emerald coast. There was something in the air......the sounds of the calm waters........the night's moon.....that made this trip even more special.
The water was the calmest and clearest I have seen in awhile. We have been going to the coast for a long time. My children grew up going to the shore on vacations. It is our favorite spot.
We ventured to Ally's Beach, Seaside, Rosemary's Beach, Grayton Beach, all of the small towns close to Seagrove.
I took interesting pictures and ate all the seafood my heart desired.
We went to Rosemary Beach a few times to stroll, shop and eat. Loved it there.
There were cute little shops and restaurants. This hotel was our view when we sat outside for dinner.
It reminded me of pictures of Europe. It was a beautiful week. The sun, the moon and the company made it special.
A memory we will always cherish.
The Super Moon was out the nights we were there. I wonder if that had something to do with the extra beauty that the sea had.
This is the place I feel closest to God. This is the place I renew my spirit. It makes me feel small in a big world but also makes me feel that anything is possible.
I am so glad we all got to go and have a great time together. I will remember it always.
I will continue to be pulled to the sea.....
I will continue to be inspired by it........
It was a gift that we all shared. Hope you had a great 70th birthday mom! I love you!
