all night

while we sleep unaware —

the collapse of stars

Lessons from Camp, 2015

We're back from another fabulous two weeks in one of our favorite spots in the world. Here are some of our takeaways from this year's trip:

Surfers have more fun.

BYOL. (Bring your own library.)

Friendship bracelets will never go out of style.

Appreciate the little things.

Go ahead, splurge a little.

If you hear the dunes calling, listen.

Home is where the tents are!

Thanks to the neighbors who helped keep our little house safe in our absence, 

and to all the friends and loved ones who sent their happy wishes and good weather vibes our way.

A special thanks to the families whose generosity made this version of our annual adventure possible.

how slowly

the snake relinquishes

its spot in the road

I hold the swing still

so that he can climb on —

“all by myself”

we stutter step

playing at staying

out of synch

home three days

still tipping beach sand

out of our shoes

summer camp drop off —

we try to steal enough hugs

to last four weeks

giving credit

to the mourning doves

who started my day

chasing the sunset

down one too many side streets

I lose my way
