Travel Theme: Beaches

Ailsa has given us the lovely theme of beaches this week. As the weather heats up for some, the beach is the place to be. For the rest of us, it’s still the place to be, but we just need to bring coats and hats! Click the link to see her lovely beach shots and join in.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my 500th post than with a post about my favourite place to be…the beach! And I get to use my lovely header shot once again.

Surf’s up!
