Come As You Are

Fate Intervened

We had taken a trip out to the Washington State coast to stay in a lovely lodge within Olympic National Park. I was so excited for two days of wilderness adventuring. The second morning of our stay we drove to Ruby Beach for a short hike. Ruby Beach is known for its hidden treasures and Charles assured me we would find at least one. We wandered down the trail, over driftwood logs and out to the surf. The water was brilliant and the sea spray kissed everything as it blew by. The sun was sparkling on this chilly morning and for Charles and I, couldn't have been a happier place to be. Just the two of us on a beach; he knows my style. It couldn't have been a more romantic moment if he tried; and yes, I cried.
