Sail Away

I love the adventure of a trip.
The thrill of a new place.
Exploring quaint shops
and enjoying the local food.
Finding great treasures to take home
are the best of all!
The above oil painting is going to hang in our island cottage.
It will be perfect.



The boats are coming!
The boats are coming!
We love the island 'Sailboat Regatta'...
Once a year
our little bay in front of our cottage
comes alive with many sail boats.
Racing....
Racing...

Boats, Yaya....LOOK!


And one is leading the way!



Watching sailboats, looking for Hermit crabs...
Perfect bliss!




Who's taking the lead?!?








































































































And so it is,
that I have found another treasure...
A treasure not found in our deep Southland,
but on another wonderful trip.
When I hang it on my wall,
I will always be reminded of our trip
to the mid-Atlantic seaboard,
the quaint little shops
and the wonderful crab cakes and creamy crab soup.
But,
the painting also reminds me of wonderful summer days,
watching the boats sail into our own little bay.
I hope you find your own beautiful treasures...
Treasures that remind you of fabulous trips
and happy times.

Blessings

It looks like a beautiful trip, and you found a perfect reminder of those lovely days on the coast. Thank you for sharing your get-away. :)

Thank you, Aisling, so very much for taking the time to leave a comment. Life has been terribly busy, dashing here and there, a brand-spanking new grandbaby, a crashed computer....LIFE keeps us in the fast lane, but hopefully, I can get back to blogging and reading blogs. Again, thank you for stopping in for a visit at my lil' place beneath my southern sky.
