This is a photo I took last August at the beach.
What was I doing five years ago today? I took my last morning walk in the desert. Then we were on our way to our annual beach vacation.
You can read the 8/10/21 post HERE.
Ten years ago I was looking back on my summer vacations before we had kids. I’d visit my home state Washington and schedule way too much stuff using a Daytimer to keep track. I also posted photos from our 2016 beach vacation and noticed how much more relaxed I was.
You can read that post HERE. I was contemplating whether I should swim in the ocean with several sightings of great white sharks. Yikes.
We’ll be heading to the beach later this week. I’m ready to get out of this terribly hot summer in the desert and enjoy some fresh air!
What are your plans for the week?

Wow, I’m glad the girls were not attacked by the sharks! Thanks for the look back. Stay out of the shark’s domain on your next trip!
It was pretty scary to have the girls swimming right before a shark attacked a seal. I didn’t go in the ocean at all that year. Hopefully this summer vacation will be shark free.
I hope you enjoy your time by the Pacific this year EA! I am so ready for some rain and cooler temps. This is back to school week for the grands so I’m also looking forward to a bit more quiet around the house 😉
I can’t wait to get out of the heat. It’s been unusually hot this summer, plus with storms lots of humidity. Have fun having peace and quiet!
What a really neat way to look back at what you were up to five and ten years ago! I’m so glad you are on your way to the beach soon! Have a great week, Elizabeth!
Thank you. When I look back on the years, I am usually doing about the same things. My life is very routine.
It’s so neat that WordPress is now offering these little glimpses into the past. So fun!
Yes. WP gave me the idea to dig deep into the past and do a review of five and 10 years ago.
I loved my Daytimer.
I did too. I think I’d like to order one now.
When we moved last year, I finally threw mine out.
Honestly, Elizabeth! Where DOES the time go? Five years ago…ten years ago. So much feels like yesterday or just a few months ago. Enjoy your yearly trip to the beach! I love your photos from there…hugs, hugs, hugs! 💝💝💝
It is amazing how quickly the time flies by. I also find it interesting that I’m doing the same things at the same time year after year. This will be my first trip to the beach with my “real” camera.
Ooooh! Looking forward to what you’ll share!!! 😉❤️😉
Thanks!!! 😀
I hope you have a wonderful vacation.
Thank you!
You’re most welcome 🙏🏼
Beach vacations are great! I think we might finally be getting some lower temps. So tired of the daily 100+ highs!
I can’t wait to get out of the heat!
