The Ocean Shores
Mr. Owl and I took a vacation to the ocean yesterday; it being Labor Day, he had the day off (a rare occasion!), so we took a much-needed trip away from home. I have been wanting and needing to get away for a while. With all the wedding planning now, vacations are even more appreciated! Especially when they’re to the ocean. I have always loved the ocean.
We spent almost the entire day there, wasting time laying in the sun that warmed the sand-dunes, listening to the constant roar of ocean, chasing waves and being chased by waves. By the end of the day we were pleasantly tired, mentally rested (I was, anyway), and unpleasantly sunburnt (well… he was, anyway).
We chased a flock of birds like little kids, and stood bravely challenging the waves to come and wash over our legs (and, occasionally, ran away when the water looked too scary.) But, mostly, we just lay in the sand and enjoyed each-others’ company and the warmth of the sun and the rush of the sea.
It was the perfect day.

I’m jealous that you’re already wearing tights! That does sound like a wonderful day though, even to someone who doesn’t like the beach like me (OK, I don’t hate the beach. I just hate going into the water.)

I love this! I was at the same place on Labor Day! But I left around 11:00…wish I had seen you! 🙂

TELL me you popped those shoes off and walked in the sand a bit. Anyway, I’m jealous even though I went to the beach a bunch of times lately. You look fall-ready, you know. I especially love your shoes.

Haha! Yes, I did. I actually ditched the tights and shoes for the rest of the day because it was a lot warmer than we expected.
I’m totally ready for fall! Ah, the cooler weather is so nice right now. But this weekend it’s supposed to be getting up into the 80’s. Surprise! Finally, when I’m all ready for fall to start, there’s summer weather.

Ahh that sounds lovely <3 And I feel Mr. Owl's sunburns! As a lily white ass myself, I have to slap on suntan lotion everytime I go out in the sun. The colors of your outfit are lovely fall-ish and the boots are gorgeous! Great pictures as always. 🙂
