Beach Bliss

A portrait of my Avery, once a week, every week, in 2014

 

Last week we spent a few blissful days vacationing on the southern shore of Lake Michigan in Michigan City, IN. We rented a little house on the beach, left our computers and cell phones at home and spent time doing nothing but being together as a family. Just the four of us. Only 2 hours from home and it felt like paradise.

The day we arrived, we unloaded the car and headed straight to the beach. Avery's reaction to our new surroundings was absolutely magical. While walking the footpath from the house to the water, he stopped every five feet to fall in the sand and roll around belly laughing like he'd never been so happy to be anywhere in his life. Once we (finally) made it to the shore, we spent twenty whole minutes watching Avery run around squealing and laughing like the happiest two-year-old that ever lived. In turn, we were the happiest parents on the planet. It was one of those moments that I know will live in my memory forever.
