A Week by the Sea
Words can't describe the wonderful week we spent, as a family, without internet, without worries, without the daily grind we realize we've fallen into to without even knowing it, in a little white house by the sea on the coast of Brittany.
The weather in the pic tells all- for the most part, we were able to taste the first sunbeams of spring, even though we could still feel winter's hand trying to grasp the moments when the sun would sink behind the clouds. We only had one bad weather day, the rest were full of sun which allowed us to take many walks, taste the first pre-summer burgers and sausages on the grill, and of course, explore the beach, where the kids could have stayed for hours.
Many more pics to come and my apologies for not being 'connected' this week, I know some of you are waiting for a response to an email or on facebook, but actually, I'm not too sorry, it was a wonderful taste of freedom, for a week.
So pleased you had an excellent time. Its surprising how wonderful it makes you feel, to leave it all behind..!!!

Oh please, Andie -- definitely don't be sorry! You deserved this week away with your family, disconnected from everything! And trust me, I've definitely done the same thing, and in spite of feeling bad about getting out of touch, I know that people must understand.
It sounds like you had a wonderful week -- so lucky with the sunny weather! I'm so glad it was restful and great for your whole family. I'm hoping we'll be just as lucky with nice weather NEXT week when my boyfriend and I go down to the Atlantic Coast, to Noirmoutier, for a week's break -- our last time away as a couple before the baby arrives! I'm a bit nervous about making the drive, but I'm hoping that if we take regular breaks quite often it will be OK.
P.S. ~ I'm the one who owes YOU an e-mail, and I have absolutely no excuse, except for the fact that I've just fallen behind on a few things and I keep meaning to take the time to write to all those to whom I owe messages. I'm so sorry for not writing back sooner!

What a great photo; nice shades of blue and the reflection in the water adds to the peaceful mood of the picture.
