A Coastal Reunion

I had the good fortune to be invited to the beach for a weekend reunion with former roommates & suitemates to celebrate our milestone birthdays this year. . .

The six of us happy & lucky to have a friend/roommate with access to a beach house. . .

Enjoying the scenery while reminiscing on our college years . . .

Reflecting on old times. . .

As we had just begun to spread our wings. . .

 

Strolling on the beach. . .

Catching up on the status of classmates. . .

Basking in each other’s company. . .

And enjoying good meals & conversation . . .

Many thanks to our generous hostess and also to our talented chef for our weekend of fun :)

Thank you for your visit, I’m joining:

    Happy 30th Birthday! It WAS only your 30th, right??? *wink* Whatever the year, it looks like you had a grand time celebrating it with good friends.
    Your gorgeous shots remind me of Hilton Head but I see you categorized it as Pawley’s Island, SC. Same area, anyway. My DD used to live on HH & we always enjoyed our visits there.

    Mary, I love how you used the photos of the birds as you wrote about your classmates. You managed to convey the spirit of friends reuniting without showing a single person. You are a very talented lady!

    Mary the pics are fabulous! Sounds like a wonderful time. I am the one with the beach house and I hosted my college sorority sisters. I was the chef though! No one has reciprocated yet, still waiting! :)
    It was fun though and some drove over 10 hours to get here.
    I am sure you will remember the good time you had for a long time!
    And happy 30 th birthday! :)
