. . .
I hope you are enjoying the warm weather and soaking in the long summer days. It has been awhile since my last post, and I hope to get back into the swing of things after the summer break. I’ve been posting on Instagram @whitegunpowderliftstyle, of our daily happenings and thoughts if you want to check it out and follow us there. If you were to ask me about my summer, “busy” would describe it. But, if you were to glance at my bare calendar with a few penciled in reminders it would contradict what I just said. The daily life has been filled with mostly little things that come in waves depending on the weather or who one of my kids is in contact with. There was one big travel plan for Bill and our daughter, Grace, to explore the country of Turkey and Greece in July. After much thought, we decided to cancel it with so much uncertainty and unrest happening in that part of the world. Staying close to home felt like the right thing to do this summer.
This blog post is a follow up to my last year’s blog post, Summer (teen) packing list…destination Cape Cod. My intention was to put it together and share the photos my daughter, Hannah took on her trip to the east coast. Soon after she came back, life had a way of changing things and it was put off and shoved on a shelf {in a computer file} to collect dust for over a year until I came upon it recently. I hope you enjoy this follow up post of the beautiful beaches of Plum Island and a visit to a favorite lighthouse in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
