A bittersweet farewell to Summer...

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I live for the summer and would rather be seaside then any other place in the world. We eeked in one last trip to the beach for the summer, and while some of that time was spent doing absolutely nothing during naptimes (no cable or wi-fi at the beach house), the rest of that time was spent soaking up the waves and feeling of sandy feet, showing off the boardwalk to Gabby without any crowds, and visiting local restaurants that we never bothered to during the busy season...

I took these pics on our last evening at the beach. For once during the whole trip, the wind died down, the sun was shining, and it was the perfect time to search for treasures and chase birds...
