I hope you all have enjoyed the guest posts this weekend by Ali, Katherine, and Sara! I can’t thank them enough for coming through when I needed them. My time at home has been all about family, celebrating my grandmother’s life, and helping with all that needs to be done.
This morning, before our family brunch, my mom and I enjoyed an hour of solitude by the sea.
Tybee Beach is Savannah’s hometown beach, only 10 short minutes from my parents’ home. Over the past few years, Tybee has developed a great deal. There are now wonderful restaurants, bed and breakfast inns, and most of the beach has been refurbished.
Mom was ready to cross the dunes onto the beach for our walk!
We always enjoy our walks on the beach together. We spend some time talking, spreading our toes in the sand, and collecting shells.
The weather was perfect this morning; though it was quite cool and windy on the beach. We were both bundled in fleeces and jeans, but still enjoyed the bright sunshine.
See our seagull friends? They were there in flocks, begging for food and attention. I learned as a child, that I will NEVER surprise the seagulls. I’d spend hours chasing them, hoping to touch just one.
The white sand was decorated by aged driftwood and long lost palm trees.
This sand shark was very popular with the children. I saved you all from the other side which unfortunately was not a pleasant site.
Unfortunately, our photo session did not go as well when dealing with animate objects.
This is an adorable picture of my mom! Not sure what I was doing. 🙂
Third time is a charm! 🙂
Question: How do you relax after a long week? A long walk on the beach is the perfect way to relax for both my mom and me.
Looks like a perfect way to spend Sunday morning! I’m sure it’ll be tough for you to head back to cold NYC!
I am lovingggg the pics of you and your mom! So glad you all got to spend some time together during this sad time.
So glad you got to spend time with your mom during this sad time. I love the idea of a walk on the beach 🙂
Ashley,
A bath and a book is my favorite way to relax. Anytime, not just the end of a week 🙂 Boy do I love the beach though!

“The white sand was decorated by aged driftwood” – What a great photo! Looks like some huge creature that’s been washed up on the beach. You can’t beat a walk on the beach, whatever the weather.
