We stayed in one of the buildings by the ocean and sat on our balcony and the deer walked right up to us with their babies. We walked down the boardwalk to the water, rolled up our pants and walked through the water. We watched the sun set from a bench on the boardwalk. You need a blanket. It can get cold. It was one of the most amazing places I have ever been. I would love to go back someday.Kerri Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407034259691171282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-56093467460948330942012-05-19T06:35:02.277-07:002012-05-19T06:35:02.277-07:00I love Robert's idea of a blank design wall. ...I love Robert's idea of a blank design wall.

The subdued blues mixed with just enough shimmer to feel magic, like anticipation when you know something special is about to happen.<br /><br />I think it's great that your two boys are so close, emotionally and geographically! I hope my sons will have that when they are older. Right now, in 3rd and 5th grade, I frequently have to send them to separate corners!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.com
