one last stop at ogunquit beach...

i demanded one last stop at ogunquit beach before leaving maine, assuming it would be just as beautiful as our first visit. we parked in an empty lot, across the wooden planks to the beach, but instead of seeing beautiful rolling waves, we saw sand. sand and sand and sand........ low tide. 

i've never seen anything like it.

it was one of those moments where your jaw falls, and your eyes widen, and the whole world starts to slowly slur........

it, somehow, was even more magical than before. 

the fog rolled and the people in the distance looked like one of those movies where people are rising from the dead, walking toward you... is that a thing? i swear it reminded me of that, but i have no frame of reference.

one of the most beautiful sights ever. ever, ever.

ogunquit beach, maine...

from the cliffside we could see the sand of a beach. google maps told me it wasn't far, so after the rain cleared, and school ended for the day, we went on a drive to explore the coast a bit. our first stop was ogunquit beach. we found an empty parking lot with a tiny path leading to a deserted beach. it took my breath away seeing just how beautiful and peaceful it was. we took off our masks and ran free. i don't think i've ever been so happy to run in shoes along the beach. the kids chased each other with sticks while i screamed for them not to, and then after 30 minutes of perfection, mike decided to drop a decomposing crab into a hole the kids were digging and suddenly everyone hated each other and that was THE END of our amazing beach pit stop for that day.
