Smell The Sea Air...

I'm sitting with my laptop during halftime of the AU-State game--War Eagle!--after our first adventure to the North Shore. It's hard to describe the emotions we had when we, for the first time in a month, walked down a quiet street without the constant hum of the city. To top it off, we found our way to a little rocky cove dotted with sailboats on the horizon. The perpetual grins stayed on our faces for the better part of the afternoon.

Shannon spent about an hour watching the host of sea creatures swim arond in a tidal pool. Serious, an entire hour--I love my wife!! I took pictures, listen to the gulls, and thought about the Mayflower, Kennebunkport, Myles Standish and maise. But most of all we relished the fresh air and relative quiet during our day outside the big city. We miss you all!
