Ahhh...the Sweet Smell of Sea Air

Back at the beach after a road trip south with Julie to deposit Emma and Hilary at school.

Had dinner with old friends in South Carolina...didn't win Powerball, even though the winning ticket was purchased in Columbia where Emma and I bought ours...tackled some pretty steep hills during runs in très hot Charlotte...and managed to bring the bff back with us for a long girl's weekend at the beach. Well, a girl's weekend with Babe as our escort. Lucky us...

  6. I'm starting to notice that end of the summer light.
    Sad.
    But, autumn is wonderful too. I love how the beach isn't as crowded and the water is so warm.
    Back to school is kind of wonderful too!

  10. Fun! If you get back to Charlotte, you have to stop by my friend's store Capitol. She's the buyer... it's officially off the hook.
