Serenity by the Sea

We recently enjoyed a relaxing time with some dear friends.  A hearty thanks to the Harrises for their generous hospitality in allowing us to join them for a memorable Mother's Day weekend!  With the mighty ocean before us and the wide blue sky above us, it was so easy to contemplate the Lord's majesty as we reveled in His wonderful creation....


A seaside retreat

A view to wake up to!
That's my cup of coffee and glass of water sitting on the window ledge.

Spotted this grazing deer on our first morning.

The gorgeous Sonoma Coast.

In the garden.

Hiking to the beach.


My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow








My Abercrombie models. Lol!

Our gracious hosts.
Little Mason was not too pleased to be interrupted from his seaside escapades!


The weary traveler...

...trudging along with a companion.

Wow!!! The scenery is GORGEOUS! Your new camera came right on time to capture such a beautiful weekend. Some of these photos are magazine worthy, especially the close up one of X-Man and the boys jumping around on the bed! Glad you got to enjoy Mother's Day in a very memorable way with such sweet friends!
