New York






On May 23rd, I boarded a plane for Newark, NJ for a Girls Trip to NYC!! The best thing about that trip was just hanging out with my friends. It was refreshing and wonderful. The memories will never be forgotten.

Seaglass






Finding seaglass on the beach seems like such a special little gift. You are walking along, and then you see something colorful and smooth. Zaid is fasicinated with shells and seaglass. He wants to find the "most rare" colors of red, pink and peach. So far we have found an emerald green piece, a white piece and a rather large seafoam green piece.

Plane Trip to Jupiter Island

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

We left early on Saturday morning, June 7th (Tamer's Birthday), for a family vacation to Jupiter Island, Florida. Zaid was hesitant about flying as he can not remember ever being on a plane. My Mom really talked it up to him about how much he would love it. She told him about how he would be able to see the clouds and cities. We gave him the window seat so that he could look out. We departed out of Hartsfield International, there was a long line of planes waiting to take off, so Zaid was a little antsy. Eventually, we were airborne and Zaid got the biggest smile on his face as he looked out the window, he said "Wow!! This is just like what Mawmaw said!!" He looked out for the longest time at the clouds and the earth around him. He thought the wing of the plane was another smaller plane. He smiled it seemed like the entire time. I feel so fortunate to have been sitting right beside him able to watch his reactions and share in this experience with him.
