7 random things i love: day 7

seabrook island,

south carolina.

ever have a place that, for some reason, 

just "speaks" to you?

for me, it's this place.

it is a small island off the

coast of charleston, and to me,

 it is one of the most beautiful places 

i have ever seen.

growing up, my family came here for vacation

several times, and allen and i began a

tradition of taking our kids here the week 

after school got out. it was a week filled

with swimming and crabbing 

and riding bikes 

and making sand castles 

and just having a fabulous time together. 

the island is full of

beautiful live oak trees, 

dripping with spanish moss,

has gorgeous beaches, and tons of wildlife. 

when we moved across the country, one

of the things i mourned was not

being able to come to seabrook every summer.

(flying 5 people across the 

country is just too expensive for us right now.)

i miss the ocean, the dunes, the marshes,

the beach, the trees, the scenery, and the 

beauty of seabrook. but most of all, 

i miss the time that i got to

 spend here with my family.

i would love to own a

home here one day.

i have been looking for a "replacement" for it

on the west coast, so if you have any 

suggestions, please let me know!
