Last week I turned the Big 4-0, and the festivities began a full 5 days in advance with a jaunt to Sanibel Island to celebrate with 3 of my oldest and dearest friends. We all turn 40 this year, and wanted to do something special for the occasion. My friend Amy's Mom was kind enough to offer her fabulous home for the festivities, and it was amazing.
Thanks again for sharing with us Carole :):):)
I pulled out my 6 year old Rebel for ease and convenience, and using it again quickly reminded me of why it gave me the urge to become an official photog. Here's a few of the shots from our fantastic trip.
Our Deliciously Fabulous Homebase!!!
I always take my Mom's ashes with me when I travel.
We decided to spread them at sunset,
because it was always her favorite part about coming to Florida.
Champagne was definitely in order for the event,
and so my girlfriends set-up this shot with the bottle,
the native flowers, and my Mom's traveling urn
- an empty film container (I know this put a smile on her face).
Amy & I were certain that her Dad (she lost her Dad weeks after I lost my Mom)
& my Mom sent this amazing sky to us to add to our memories.
Amy's gift to us was a bracelet & charm marking the occasion.
We have vowed to do a trip once a year to a new destination, and plan
on adding a charm to this bracelet each time. I LOOOOOVE it!!!
Our Last Evening :(
Is that the New Charlie's Angels - oh no, it is just 4 would be cougars!!! LOL
I'm so lucky to have you all as friends!
Thanks for being there for me, and thanks for adding to my life. XOXO, Kel
