Go Fly A Kite

I am 57 years young, and in my entire life I had never been to a kite festival.
In the last week, I have been to two...odd right?
The first one was in Washington last weekend and this past Sunday, we went to one in 
on the beach, only thirty minutes from home.

It was really something spectacular to see.
The sky could not have been bluer, the ocean prettier or the sand softer.
No words are necessary, enjoy the pictures!!









I would like to give a big shout out, thank you to the hubs.
He worked all day Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday, surprising me by
coming home early on Sunday to take me to this festival.
It was 2 p.m., he was tired, I was not sure it would be worth going,
not sure if the kites would still be up in the air...
He said, "let's just go", we went and it was just incredible, my kinda' show.

And for the record, the hubs took most of the pictures as I just walked around in total awe.
We had dinner in Pier Village at Wild Bamboo
Chinese food, we always order the same thing and dinner was so fresh and so good.
We may have started late, but we had a really good end to the day!

oooooh and there may have been a little chocolate at 
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

Your hubs is a star ... so are you ... to provide us with these lovely photo's.

My nephew loves kite festivals and goes to them whenever time allows.
I have only been to one and thoroughly enjoyed it - perhaps I will get to another later this year - I hope so.

Have a lovely Tuesday

All the best Jan

Oh my gosh how awesome is this! My dad would have loved to have seen these kites. - I'm showing this to Coleen as she loves to fly kites. So many different ones and oh so colorful. Your hubby did a great job with surprising you and taking photos. This was wonderful.

Debbie I love this! I love watching kites and these are fabulous. And with two festivals in such a short while, soon I expect to be reading that you have bought a kite and are entering the Festival with your own ;>) (Why not? I've always thought I'd like to try flying one but never have ... well, you know, not as an adult anyway.)


Your husband is a living doll!
