I've been a little MIA lately. I just got back from a week-long vacation to the East Coast, where I soaked up some sun at Virginia Beach, laughed with my mom and sister over Sangria and Chardonnay, and read a whole stack of good books. I love the landscape, mountains, and (non-humid) weather in Santa Fe, but I yearn for water! It was so wonderful to spend a whole vacation enjoying the Atlantic Ocean, the Charles River and bays in Boston, and the Saco River in New Hampshire.

My mom, sister and I enjoy paddle boarding in Rudee's Inlet. We tried some paddle board-style yoga, which is way more challenging than it looks!
In Boston, my sister and I spent a morning at Walden Pond. It was so perfect! I recently re-read Thoreau's book, and it was amazing to see the real place. We visited the foundation of Thoreau's house, and enjoyed a run around the lake and swimming in the warm water.
My friend, Renee, and I spent the afternoon sailing on the Charles River. I haven't sailed my own boat since summer camp (circa 1997), and it was amazing to be out on the water in control of our own sail and destiny!

I added New Hampshire to my long (and growing) list of U.S. states visited! On my last day of vacation, my sister and I, along with 9 of her friends, took a day trip to New Hampshire and went tubing along the Saco River. What a fun day!
