squam by the sea & OBX love
It is so good to be home...
So good I can't even tell you.
But home I am...and tomorrow I intend to take my first morning ritual walk in the dune since my return to see what I can see. Maybe some of these beauties?
If you are not familiar with the Outer Banks or OBX as we all lovingly refer to it, it is a string of barrier islands that hug the North Carolina coastline...
And it is not only my home, but it is also the home of our Squam by the Sea retreat...
This month is really special for me and my family and our islands as the current issue of National Geographic Magazine features our little sandbar in a visual love letter written and photogaphed by my beloved, crazy, photographer, neighbor, father-in-love David Alan Harvey, it is his 42nd story for NG and much of it was shot within a bike ride of our homes. For real. This friday we are having an outdoor slide-show party to celebrate...if you are around these parts, please come over! The essay is available online as well - be sure to check out the Photo Gallery.
And if you can't make it this Friday...then come to Squam by the Sea! There are just two spots left, and I just might be able to secure us a private screening of his photos if you're interested. :)

Michelle....
What a wonderful thing to celebrate in a magical place. I am with you in spirit for the beauty and the art. I too, have very special in-laws who I so love.
I look forward to meeting you in the fall....

trust me, you want to go this one! ahhh the memories! :)
oooh! can’t wait to get our copy in the mailbox! AND get back down there this fall... so gorgeous! xoxo
I know I would love a private screening of the photos this fall!
Can't wait for Squam by the Sea. It looks so so so lovely.
oh how I would love to be back by the Sea. It is so magical there.
For those that are on the fence about going you should take the chance and go. It is such a peaceful and magical place. You won't regret it.
My heart and mind are filled with so many wonderful memories. xo
I wish I were there now, but I'll just have to wait with anticipation for October! And a private screening would be over the top!
The photos and essay about the outer banks by David Alan Harvey are wonderful testaments to their fragile beauty. The picture of the house, its remains, and its owners so poignantly captured the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't nature of this landscape. Thanks for sharing this, Michelle. Welcome back. Wish I could come to Squam, but I will be coming home from a month in Greece on October 17.
welcome home, michelle!
can't wait for NG to arrive in the mail. what a special treat to share in this experience with your father-in-love...
wow, i am in love! i really cant wait, the other part (and so vastly different) of our gorgeous state. x
Loved the beauty of the outer banks, your father in love caught the magic so well.
I can't wait to return..
love to you as you settle back into your pace there.
