Snow Day At Normandy Beach.

I forgot how it felt to be cold or shall I write freaking freezing cold!! Like BRRRRRR! We hadn't had a good snow storm or any winter storm for almost two years! So this week has been a clear reminder that old man winter is definitely here! We had a snow day and a delay in school this week so Noah and I went for a drive to Normandy beach to see if there was any snow on the beach. When we arrived it was all gone and the snow turned into rain but we were lucky to have had a break in between the rain to get down and capture a few photos...in black and white. The day was dreary and was in a black and white picture taking mood. I personally loved how they came out. I sure do miss film and taking pictures with a camera but I shot these with my iPhone and I loved every minute of these freezing moments! And so did Noah! 

Normandy Beach In The Winter Time.

The beach in the winter time is the absolute best especially when you're with your family. I'd rather venture outside than go to the movies where you know the entire universe is going to be there on Christmas Day. The beach is safer and much prettier! LOL! These photos were taken last year on Christmas Day and they are my favorite. I love the bond between the kids and their dad and just spending time with them is the best remedy for when I'm feeling the winter blues. Christmas Day last year was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 50 degrees! We hung out at Normandy Beach for about an hour and then had our little Christmas dinner. I hope these small and simple traditions never end. The Jersey shore is the best and I hope that the weather on future christmases will be like this. Maybe with a bit of snow! 

Enjoying The Festive Season While It Lasts!

Living in an area where there is so much to see and do especially during the holidays is so much fun but time to see it all is not going to be on our side. Time we won't have which is fine because this year was definitely the year to simplify and to not pack so much into our holiday schedule. Luckily we live 40 minutes aways from the shore where there are tons of beaches to go to and we happened to find ourselves at Normandy beach the other day (not the one in France by the way.) There's something about going to the beach in the winter time that is so relaxing. Wearing warm clothes, and hearing the sounds of the waves with no people in sight is a wonderful thing. We came at the right time where we were completely alone and second avenue was secluded. This Christmas tree filled with seashells that people wrote wishes on was a beautiful sight and we managed to hang one up in remembrance of 2020.
