A Trip to the Beach

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Travel/ 9 Comments/ 573

Chris and I spent last week getting our cloud tans at Cherry Grove Beach. It was a very gloomy, windy and cold week with bundled up beach walking and lots of reading. I was fine with that. The Cherry Grove Pier was under repair as Continue reading →
