I love the coast. I have done day-trip beach visits when I lived in states closer to the ocean 20+ years ago, and it was magical. idk if it would still have the same magic it did then, but I would love to swim in the ocean again.

My paternal grandparents and associated aunts, uncles, and cousins used to meet us at Lake Erie every year for a family vacation. I know there’s no way things are very much like I remember them, but I do wish someday to simultaneously have both the money and time to take my kid and husband to the area we used to visit.

I love lighthouses, too. I hope you surprise yourself with how well you climb it and get incredible pictures at the top.

thank you ❤️
