The Sun is Shining

My view from the morning.

Their view from the morning.

It’s rough being a beach dog.

30 years together and still in love.

Leftovers make the best lunches (especially on vacation).

I’m currently two chapters in to Blueprints for Building Better Girls. I love the author’s writing style so far. Both stories have really tugged at my heart – I can’t wait to read the rest. 🙂

Who’s your favorite author to read at the beach? I’ve been thinking about downloading a couple of Nicholas Sparks books while I’m here, as well. Nothing screams “the beach” like a good Nicholas Sparks book. 😉

6 Angela @ Happy Fit Mama June 28, 2012 at 3:52 pm: I don’t know if it’s a beach read but I just started reading Scott Jurek’s Eat and Run. It’s a great read so far about running and going vegan. Makes me want to run!
