I haven't been as lucky as you to find a lovely home, I just have a series of temporary houses so far, but I love the beaches and the view across to LI!<br /><br />Great Pics. If I ever get around to creating a blog I'll post some pictures from the other side.<br /><br />Cheers,Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422998326164147135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-57331379633333350652010-05-07T15:36:56.749-04:002010-05-07T15:36:56.749-04:00Oh, fantastic.

In fact I stayed in some cottages close to Orient Point with my friends after our high school prom (yes, very "American")and it was across the street from the beach, not crowded and just bliss. I've since taken Chris out there a few times, including in December when it's particularly serene and stunning like you experienced it. <br /><br />Not sure if you have ever been to Caumsett Park but I would suggest that too. xTanya (Bump2Basics)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11190613569079236305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-43028201563312748652010-05-05T15:45:20.194-04:002010-05-05T15:45:20.194-04:00Love the sandy beach ;)Love the sandy beach ;)Mirkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091507959035863200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-70279080261661437402010-05-05T15:22:00.328-04:002010-05-05T15:22:00.328-04:00If you're going to do suburbia, that's the...If you're going to do suburbia, that's the place to be!Pond Parleyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127142379706540812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-8842351422292388142010-05-05T13:47:20.827-04:002010-05-05T13:47:20.827-04:00Lovely NVG, just lovely (the writing AND the pictu...Lovely NVG, just lovely (the writing AND the pictures...)Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-60275944066437459832010-05-05T13:46:09.679-04:002010-05-05T13:46:09.679-04:00Hello again!
