New England tour: Seabrook

Talk about a tour of my childhood haunts! Right on the heels of the pool party, we trekked it down to the coast for the final leg and some lovely downtime with the Griffins at their house on the beach. And, while it’s not exactly the same house at which my family and I used to squeeze (the original wasn’t tiny, but there were 11 of us!) in at least one summer stay, annually. I have strong and fond memories of those young days at the beach with the Griffins, so it was especially poignant for me to end this trip with some time to leave the girls with some memories of their own.

Look real closely and you’ll see a little trace of fear here…but not for long!

I would be remiss if I didn’t give them their due thanks for providing the transportation for our tour. It was so nice to not have to worry about how we were going to get around – thank you! YOU are a gift!
