The sweet life...

Ok...after spending a week on the Jersey shore exploring the bay in the early morning hours and sitting by the ocean all afternoon with the kiddies...I have found my new (old) love. I've always loved the shore. My Aunt Jane had a home in Cape May for all of my childhood and alot of my adulthood, too... I can still close my eyes and smell the bay, smell the house, which had that sweet, ocean smell that all houses at the shore seem to have, and I am transported to a quieter time... After this week I am having a hard time not packing everything up and moving to the water...There is a peace there that I haven't felt in a long time. The quiet beauty of the water, moving at it's own pace, the gulls shouting their way along. The slower, sweeter life that can only be found on vacation...away from the real world...It was lovely and far too short...
