FLOWERS AT POINT DUME

I have craving a morning at the beach lately, I love starting my days off at the beach so we got up & moving quicker than usual the other day & headed straight to the beach. I had heard from a couple of friends that Point Dume was covered in yellow flowers & I really wanted to go see them so we headed there & it did not disappoint. There was a thick layer of fog laying on top of the beach which made the yellow pop even more, it was so pretty. We normally don't go to Point Dume so it was really fun exploring a new beach. There was a pathway through the flowers to a staircase taking you to the beach. On a normal day there are lots of little tide pools, which means I'm going to have to go there more often, but today it was a high tide & they were covered up, but we did manage to see a sea lion in the water while we were walking down the stairs. Cedar was SO excited about the sea lion. Octanauts is his favorite tv show right now so he is all about sea creatures. We played along the beach, ran to & from the waves trying not to let it get us & played octanauts (Cedar assigns everyone a character to play & I think it is so fun!).

Later this week I'm going on my first ever baby-free/husband-free trip. Ever since I had Cedar I have only had one night away from both him & Austin & it was for a school thing, so I don't really count it. I haven't been on an airplane without a kid for almost 4 years! How weird is that? I used to fly alone all the time & I loved every second of it. I'm pretty excited for this girls weekend but I'm definitely also a little sad to be leaving the boys, even if it is just for a few days, I'm such a sucker for them. Austin included :) It's nice to have a getaway though. I'm going to New Orleans with my mom, my sister & my two sister-in-law's for my moms upcoming 60th birthday & I am really so excited cause I have wanted to go to New Orleans for a long time. Until then, I'm soaking up all my time with these three.
