My family has been extremely fortunate to live so close to California for the majority of my life. It has been our weekend get away for years. Disneyland was considered our second home because we had annual passes for over 8 years and would travel down at least once a month. After a good trip to Disneyland, we always go to the beach. Newport or Laguna are our favorites and we still make these trips pretty regularly.
Recently, with my family dealing with Mason's passing we haven't wanted to leave home. I have driven down to Vegas so many times just to have time with my family. I knew we needed to do something besides sitting at home and reminiscing about memories with Mas. A good family friend who had some members of his family pass away several years ago told us about how going to the beach became his happy place. He is an avid sea glass hunter and goes to Laguna Beach to find his spoils. I love listening to him when he talks about finding treasures at the beach because you can tell it truly brings him happiness. I decided that this is exactly what my family needed. A trip to the beach to go sea glass and happiness hunting!
Over the span of 4 weeks we made 3 separate trips down to the beach. Each were filled with laughter, love, sea glass, sand, fun, tears, memories and most important happiness. California still remains one of my favorite places but now it holds even more of a special place in my heart. Mason loved California and now we get to travel down and grow our collection of sea glass and sea shells in remembrance of Mason. It's been amazing to see what finding one piece of sea glass can do to a family member. I know because of these new traditions, Mason's legacy will be passed on in many different ways. Buddy, I hope you know I love you and miss you more and more each day.
Since we have been traveling so much I haven't done any posting. Whoops! Please forgive me. I promise I will be better at making sure I post more regularly. With that being said, here is a double post!
First, I want to talk about my ADORABLE romper from Shop Eva Jo. This is definitely my go to outfit right now! It is so comfortable and I receive nonstop compliments when I wear it!
The next outfit I want to talk about is this fabulous lace dress! I have seen this dress a few times and have loved it every time. I just wasn't sure if I would love it once I put it on. I love the crop top look but I am always afraid that it might fall at the wrong spot on my body. Luckily enough it fit just right! Make sure to check it out at Ivy City Co!
