The warm weather inspires us all to get moving on our “to do” list!
Our version of spring color!
Earlier sunrises…and summer preparations from beach to bay!
A quick over night in New York City this week to see a show (Kinky Boots- loved it!) and walk around the city.
Just a bit different than my normal surroundings!
Instead of laughing gulls…car horns and sirens.
Instead of the solitude of my morning beach walk…the “look alert” pace of crossing streets to a specific destination.
Fun to see the real world…and then return home 🙂
Easter weekend: the official “soft” opening for the summer season.
And what a weekend!
Great weather for walks…thank goodness because we took advantage of the many food establishments now open 😉
See you on the beach!
