Good day, Monday. After a rather harrowing Mother's Day (some of you don't know from this, consider yourself blessed), I realized that my patience is down to a mere nubbin and I need a bit of a break, and an escape from dysfunctional mountain. I'm a bit short fused and feel like I need a recharge and a relax. As I sit here and comb through estimates and think about way too many things, my mind wandered to the beach. THE BEACH. I WANT THE BEACH. And with Memorial Day weekend coming, how can you NOT think about that? In any event, I'm there in my head and if you too would rather be beachbound today, here's some visuals to either inspire or completely depress you. Let's pack our bags. Cause that's what's up this if you listen hard you can hear the ocean (no that's just the Hudson) kind of Monday in the 212. Le sigh. I think we're going to make all posts this week related to travel and packing and adventure and rest. Yes, please. XO
Here's my checklist of what to bring to the playa; I feel better already:
