Sunset {outfit}

We didn't get the sunset we were hoping for but the sky was still beautiful.  It's one of the many reasons I love being down at the beach.  For the sunset, I wore a red dress from Target and a colorful bracelet from Kate Spade.

Alan was the perfect husband in navy from Banana Republic with flip flops from Croatia (they were our only serious purchase!).

Having a Canadian CEO is fantastic when he declares that the American office of our company can have off for their Canada day holiday.  Having a Canuk as CEO is even better when that extra day off gets us to the Outer Banks with less traffic and starts our vacation an entire day early.  Thank you Jean!

Freedom Isn't Free

Freedom isn't free.  In fact, it requires constant, diligent effort.  This year, make certain to celebrate America's independence day and remember to appreciate our freedom.
