$25 well spent

When typically plan trips to the beach in the warmer Spring and Summer months. Memorial day usually kick starts our beach time as we spend a long weekend camping along the coast. This year, we decided to mix things up and head to the beach earlier than normal. Before we went, Cameron thought it would be a good idea to buy some rubber boots. I had visions of bright yellow or red Hunter boots, but Cameron wanted to focus on function rather than fashion. A trip to Cabela's (I had never been there before) proved fruitful and we walked away with two pairs of rubber boots. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, but good functional rubber boots that matched! Bonus.

Once at the beach these rubber boots worked like a dream. No sand to deal with afterwards all over our favorite shoes, nor freezing cold feet, or walks cut short because the water was too high. Rubber boots just made exploring the beach a ton more fun. One of the unexpected best parts was we did not have to walk around with our shoes in our hands which meant our hands were free to touch and explore the beach.

Boots for him and her. They might just change your life and if not they will definitely make you feel like a kid again.

Long weekend: Seabrook, WA

There exists a certain hierarchy with friends. There are church friends, work friends, school friends, neighborhood friends, couple friends, childhood friends and travel friends. As much as you adore certain friends it is with hesitation you might commit to a day trip or an overnight adventure, uncertain how that much time together might pan out. What will you talk about? What will you do? Then there are friends who are laid back, conversation flows with ease, time has no relevance and you just feel better about yourself after spending time with them. This weekend we were honored to spend time with two of our favorite people. Two people who like us for us, make no judgements of us and celebrate not only our joys, but do everything in their power to ease our sorrows.

The weekend was spent together at the loveliest beach house in Seabrook, WA. We walked along the beach, caught every possible ray of sunshine, ate delicious food, played games and even snuck a nap into the equation. We came back feeling rejuvenated and reminded of how lucky we are to have them as friends and live in such a beautiful place.
