Sunday's are truly one of my favorite days of the week. It's the Hub's day off, so we usually sleep in a bit, snuggle in bed and then eat a big breakfast (we had waffles & bacon this time!). We usually have lots of chores to catch up on (there are just some things this big bellied lady can not do anymore, like wash the dog), but lately I have been making sure we fit in some quality family time doing something relaxing and mellow. This little ritual has become especially important to us as we get closer to our due date (just a week away!!), as it's a time to be present with each other and enjoy some selfish "us" time before little babe makes his appearance.
So, yesterday we set out with burritos in hand at lunchtime, to the beach. The colors of the sky and the ocean were pretty spectacular-everything looked washed out in muted tones & the sky was perfectly stormy. The water had this beautiful green-jewel tone to it-just couldn't capture how awesome it looked! We walked a lot (I'm trying to get this baby to move down), combing the sand for interesting rocks, shells and what-not. Miya dog played her heart out, laying in the water to cool off, chasing birds and making little children cry as she kissed them (she's so sweet, but so big that she scares unsuspecting little people-oops). The Hub and I enjoyed being together, simply and calmly taking in our surroundings, talking and people watching. It was the perfect little adventure-uplifting my spirit and reminding me how lucky I am to get to spend time with my family in this beautiful place.
