Top Ten Tuesday: Life is a beach

I know I have explained "date night" in past postings so, I won't elaborate again. On date night (or date day) yesterday we went to one of my favorite places in the world: York Beach. As a child, growing up on the Seacoast, we had the choice of several beaches; Rye, The Hamptons, and York. My mother and father always brought us to York. They didn't like Hampton for some reason so I can probably count on one hand how many times I have been to Hampton Beach. Their love for the sands of York definitely transferred to me.

We had an amazing day! For breakfast we stopped at one of our favorite local haunts where we shared a cinnamon roll and then headed to the coast of Maine! What a gorgeous day it was. The temperature was just under 50 degrees, making it a beautiful day for the beach and a ride too. I love car rides with Aaron, we have the best conversations.

Here are my top 10 favorite pictures from yesterday: (*Note* I know there are more than 10 pictures here but, I couldn't choose just 10. I was able to narrow it down to 20. This is my game; I can break the rules ;)

Treasures I brought home. FYI: I won't take anything alive ;)

We have spent quite a bit of time at this beach, including overnights; I don't think the views were ever as clear as they were yesterday- in the middle of February! The sun felt amazing on my skin. I drank it in; I needed it.


I love this picture, minus my "whales tale" LOL :( But, Aaron was accidentally pulling my pants down!


Aaron thinks this graffiti is Colonel Sanders-- I think it's the devil.











The place where we usually eat was closed for unforeseeable reasons so we ate at a place in York Village called Ruby's, another local haunt. It was so amazing. Aaron had a to-die-for steak sandwich and I had something called "The Big Kahuna" teriyaki chicken with cheese, bacon, and pineapple, OMG...

For me, there is something about being around water that I can't describe. I love the sea, but I love lakes and streams too. I gravitate toward water. Being at the ocean always makes me feel so humble. The Atlantic is so powerful, beautiful, and relentless; it holds many secrets beneath the waves. I love feeling humbled and reminded how big the world is and how lucky I am to enjoy it.
