There are many places in the world we have traveled once. Some of them are my favorite places and I don’t mind going back to visit. I just want to be practical and choose somewhere accessible to be my favorite place. We are not too far from beaches. Among the several beaches, Newport Beach is my favorite beach, whether it takes a cruise for whale watching, or walking on the beach, or going to seafood restaurants, or watching the sunset, it’s beautiful. It’s half an hour driving from home, so we go there often.
How nice that you can get there so quickly, and also that you take the opportunity to enjoy the lovely beach there. A lot of people live close to beauty but are caught up in daily life and forget to take the time. 🙂
Mercy and Will are good at that also. Toward the end of 12 weeks of maternity leaves, they started going hiking every week. Two weeks ago, they went on cross country skiing with Autumn in the Ergo.

Yes, I find it the same. It’s hard to describe the feelings. It depends on where I am at when I look at the sunrise and sunset.

I know what you mean. When something is there all the time, we don’t seem to see it. Only tourist would go!
