It's been a good day.
Woke up to wonderful quietness; all I hear from my room is the gentle lapping of the small waves in the ocean sound as they playfully hop over the shallow sandbar, a mere twenty feet or so from my bedroom window.
Enjoyed coffee with a view...
Lazed around inside awhile, set up my traveling art studio at the dining room table...
...then went outside with the kids to explore the shallow waters on the sandbar.
Soon their interests led us to the pool, so we checked it out, dipped our feet in...
...observed the rules...(note the funny sign: "OOL Rules; Notice there's no "P" in it. Let's keep it that way!")
We drove to a surf rental place and rented a 2-seater kayak, woo-hoo!
After lunch I took a nap...in the pool. ;=D
Then Sam and I pretended we were Christopher Columbus and his assistant as we explored the waters and woodsy areas we found out on our boat ride.
Even found a slithering water mocassin looping around in the water by these rocks.
(look out, Colby!)
Next on our schedule: pretending we were lost in the Sahara desert as we traversed the windblown slopes of sand at Jockey's Ridge.
..and i don't know if this video clip of the dunes will work...but here it is anyway:
just a nice day of vacation.
got a lot on my mind right now, (perhaps i'll share them at another time, another blog..)
so it's just nice to be in a peaceful place,
especially this bedroom that I can call MINE. mommy's room. at least for this week.
Where I can go in and close the door, ahhhhhh, and just be alone. so nice.
goodnight!!!
