If you haven’t noticed {haha or just hate us!?} after however many, many times I post photos of the ocean on this blog… we can’t seem to get enough of it. We are water babies!
My sweet husband took me up north to stay the night in a hotel as a birthday getaway yesterday. He knows how to make me feel so special. Thank you, God, for my Cam!! We spent most of the day walking the beach and getting a good dose of vitamin d. It rains almost the entire winter season out here, but every so often we’re surprised by a gorgeous day like this one.
So, here’s some seaside for you if you’re far away from the ocean… and for us too since it’s back to raining.

I rarely get to go to the ocean – not that Germany has a lot of it to begin with!:) But if I do happen to go some place close to the sea, I'm always mesmerized and wish I could go more often.
I definitely will not get tired of you posting pictures of the sea in Okinawa – it just looks incredibly breathtaking every single time! Will you consider showing us some pictures of Okinawa in the rain? It's something I can't quite imagine, but I'm sure even then it would look beautiful!

it seems like not too long ago he was whisking you out of work to go down to the Florida keys for a birthday getaway! Amanda-san – it is literally FEELS LIKE NINE degrees outside. Your sunny beach pics are making me super jealous!!! I am a Florida girl and can't handle this cold!!
miss you!
love – lanneybear
ps. I don't have a pocket full of sunshine – I have a pocket full of HAND WARMERS.
Allie says
I hope you had the happiest of birthdays! Our birthdays are so close to one another! And I will never get tired of seeing the gorgeous blue color of the ocean.

Please oh please keep the beach and ocean photos coming – they're all kinds of gorgeous and amazing and more gorgeous! And as if ocean water is that natural color, wow!
kosebose says
I'd post just as many photos of the ocean if I lived by it and it looked like that! Amazing! When it's rainy and dreary where I live (like right now) I can just visit your blog and imagine I was there 🙂
