One of my local friends has promised me a trip to Sandy Point on the Chesapeake Bay. She noted that it might not offer the crystal clear waters of Hawaii, but it will reveal a comforting view of marine living. From its website (link),
This 786-acre Maryland State Park is located along the Northwestern shore of the majestic Chesapeake Bay. The park’s beaches and picnic areas are well known for their breathtaking scenic water views that overlook one of Maryland’s true treasures, the Chesapeake Bay. The park was first opened on June 25, 1952 and has provided its guests with various activities and services ever since.
Indeed, the crystal clear waters of Hawaii are hard to forget, especially those along the Mokapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail.
From its website (link),
The Makapu‘u Point trail, within Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline, offers outstanding views of O‘ahu’s southeastern coastline, including Koko Head and Koko Crater. From the trail’s destination at Makapu‘u Head, one is rewarded with magnificent views of the windward coast and offshore islets, as well as the historic red-roofed Makapu‘u Lighthouse built in 1909, which makes a stunning picture against the deep blue sea below.
There is something about lighthouses that that pique my interest ... enter Donna Kauffman's PELICAN POINT, kicking off her new series, The Bachelors of Blueberry Cove:
Blueberry Cove, Maine, is as small-town as small towns get. More than a little quirky, it has sheltered generations of families. But there's always room for a new face…
Fixing things has always been Alex McFarland's greatest gift and keenest pleasure. But with her own life thoroughly broken, she's signed on to renovate the dilapidated Pelican Point lighthouse, hoping to reconnect with herself. The last thing she expects is to find herself falling in love--with the glorious coastline, with age-old secrets and welcome-home smiles…with rugged Logan McCrae, the man she just might be able to build new hopes on.
DIY is so much better with two...
