summer lovin'

we didn't make beach plans this year. we always go to the gulf, but with the oil disaster taking so much time to wrap up, we didn't plan a trip for fear we may have to cancel at the last minute.

now that we've made this decision, i've done nothing but crave a trip to the beach, and now i'm thinking i should suggest we go for a short trip after all.

i might also be inspired by some of my favorite (so far) summery pieces...
