Photo of the Day: Sailboats and Lavender at Rosario Resort

This was so long ago, but I remember this day so well. We were at a small beach by a lighthouse here in Washington. It was Alex’s first time in the sand and when we took his shoes off he loved the feeling of the cool, wet sand between his toes. Shortly after this photo [...]
