A beach named Crane and the Give-away Winner!

Hello everyone! The next couple of days I'll be moving into my new place, so blog entries might be scarce/non-existent. So before going on a mini hiatus, I wanted to show pictures from my trip to Crane Beach in Ipswich with Abigail and Becca!
My camera can't seem to handle bright sun anymore. All the pictures completely washed out (this happened in New York City back in March, too)! I actually really love how it makes the pictures come out, though. I think Becca's dreds look really stunning in these photos. :)
The beach was really beautiful, and they have multiple trails that go off in four or five different directions. We took an hour-long hike and had to run through the wooded parts because they were so swarmed with mosquitos and green flies! The landscape kept switching back and forth between beachy woods and sand hills and prickly plants that reminded me of the desert. It was really fun. I miss swimming every day (last year when I was babysitting full time, we swam in the lake all the time), so it was fun to swim in the ocean.

And......I'm happy to announce that the winner of the give-away is Kirsty!!! Thank you to everyone who entered. I think I'll do another give-away this fall.
Have a wonderful week! I'll try to post again soon.
Love,
Amanda
