By far, our day at the beach in Otranto was the best! This photo is my favorite of the entire trip. I never actually thought it would be warm enough to take a swim, but it was warmer down in Salento and we were able to have one afternoon on the beach playing in the water.
Clear turquoise blue water, a wooded path down to the beach, warm water, and beautiful sunshine.
I really couldn’t believe that this day was possible. Flora was so excited to take a dip. Check out this photo. Thibault would drown himself in about 2 seconds. The boy has no fear. At one point we were sitting on the beach, Flora and Jaap were building a sand castle, and Thibault was eating the sand. I looked at Jaap and said, “Babe, life doesn’t get better than this.” So whenever I have some tough days I think of these moments. Moments where I remember how lucky I am to be living my best life with the love of my life and two happy children.Â
