I have decided that paradise is anywhere where you feel at peace, surrounded by love and you have that sense of calm and happy you don't normally feel in everyday life. A week at the beach is that for me. My kids are so happy there. I am so happy there and I sleep so much better when I can sleep to the sounds of the ocean. My kids rarely fight, as opposed to daily, and they are just as content to walk the beach, looking for seashells and dodging waves as they ever are. It's only once a year we get to do this, and mostly due to the generosity of my dad, but I always lap up every single moment of it all. I love it! Palm trees, green lush landscape, shoreline as far as the eye can see and the most colorful flowers. It's wonderful and it's always hard to come home. We had a wonderful time this year and look forward to next year!
