Retro day at the beach

Now that summer has officially arrived, I can't stop thinking about the beach! The images above capture the joy, the fun, and the carefree relaxation of being in the sun and sand. 

This weekend — en route to wedding #2 — I'll be driving through Mystic, Connecticut. I'm going to do everything I can to find a spare hour or two to stop and dip my toes in the ocean surf.

Do you have any beach vacations planned this summer? Even a day trip counts!
