ahhh... summer vacation... a few stolen days on a beach named Crystal Cove
There's time to explore the tide pools
hang 10 on a driftwood seesaw

or stare at the sunset
Our cottage on the beach, called the Dive Shack
What a fun place to stay!
the view that Luca and I shared while napping on the couch
a dive helmet kept watch overhead
a sleeping loft for our little boys to play pirate
buoys hung from stairs
and some clever boys who had stayed there before us left a very fun scavenger hunt in the guest journal
I spent the quiet, early morning hours on the deck overlooking the ocean with my comfort quilt and a very treasured book
While we were there, our big boy Matteo turned 5!
Happy Birthday, My Love!

So So sweet Marina, what a wonderful spot to enjoy the warmth left in summer. Happy birthday to Matteo
Gorgeous photos. I'm so glad you had such a lovely time. Miss you my friend. Seems we haven't had much of a chance to catch up as of late. Blessings.
I love your photography! That first picture of the beach really does look like a postcard...one that I would frame. What a beautiful cottage!
Your little Nico looks like he's enjoying his days! Your photos are beautiful.
I especially love the photo of your two sons embracing one another - we have many of these special moments in our home.
My husband loves lofts, a charming little place you have with exquisite views.
