Coming Home


beach
Over the long weekend Kim and her boyfriend Brian came out to visit me at my parents house. We spent a lot of time at the beach, hiking around, and relaxing inside. I'm so glad they were able to visit and that I was able to show them some of my absolute favorite places.

I love taking people around this area. I've been lucky enough to do my fair share of traveling over the years, but there's something so special about it there. These are the spots I hold most near and dear to my heart. One of the reasons I enjoy showing people these places is because, I'd like to think, it gives some insight into who I am and what I truly value in my life.

Being twenty-somethings trying to find footing in our lives and figure out who we want to be, it's easy to loose sight of where we came from. Coming out to these places always helps me re-evaluate the things that are really important. It's why I tend to retreat here when I need to start fresh.

When I take new friends out it gives this place a different feeling all together. It becomes even more special because I'm able to share the amazing places that I'm so protective of. I can show them why I'm always gushing about it and why I never mind taking the extra time out of my weekends to drive away from the city to get there.

We took these pictures on Friday after the drive out. I'm very happy Kim and I were able to reunite so soon after seeing each other for New Year's. The more time we get to spend together, the better. I'm just happy that Philly is so close.

Needless to say I had a wonderful time this weekend! Thank you so much to Kim and Brian for being extremely patient and taking many, many pictures. It's always nice to have friends around that share the same hobbies and interests as you do. Makes for a very pleasant, easy going time.

I love the beach in winter. Heck, I love the beach any time of year. Being near the ocean always makes me feel calm and helps to put things in perspective, I think.

You look so cozy comfy here! I love the picture where your shadow is stretching out behind you, lovely!

Oh, Morgan, the setting is beautiful and the sweater vest with ruffles is a classic. I very seldom envy an item in another blogger's wardrobe, but that vest is one of the few.

You look great, pretty colors. I'm a sucker for a ducky boot. I would say bean boots (I do live in Maine) - but those ain't beans :)

What a pretty beach! May I ask what state your parents live in? It just seems like a fantastic place to grow up:)

i feel the same way about my hometown--i always love taking people out to my house and showing them around, because i feel like they can really see where i came from (literally) and why i am the way i am.

i love going to the beach in the wintertime. wish i could convince my boyfriend to drive to the coast in the snow!
