Beach Getaway

Happy Friday! The week turned out to be more hectic than I anticipated so I'm glad it's finally over. Now I can enjoy the Memorial Day weekend! I'm heading to the beach and I CAN'T WAIT. I'm ready for a little R&R in the sun and sand. These vintage photos from H.A.M.B. remind me just how fun the beach can be. Looks like all you needed back then was a cool car, surfboards, wine and even a little painting. Pretty great right?

Have a great weekend - see you on the surf!

    I would love to live the 50s surf lifestyle for a day! It seems so simple in a good way. Their biggest concern was probably catching the next wave! Thanks for sharing.
