I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is my summer of saying, "no". No to too much travel, no to too many plans, and no to too much work. And all of the no's are starting to pay off! We've been home for the last two weekends and it's been incredible. Without packing and unpacking every few days, our summer is off to a much calmer start than last year!
What. A Week. If you missed it, on Monday I opened up about my struggle the get pregnant over the last year and the devastating losses that my husband and I experienced along the way. Writing about my experience was shockingly therapeutic and the response was overwhelming. I can't thank you guys enough for your support, prayers, and kind words.
I visit Newport a lot with my family. We have a tradition of traveling there every 4th of July and have spent countless summer vacations in my favorite beach town. That being said, I've always been a tourist and a visitor. This week, Boots and I drove up for a short trip to visit Jess and stay at the dog-friendly Vanderbilt Grace Hotel.

Before I get into this post I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the overwhelming support I've received from you over the last two days. Monday's post was the most raw and personal story I've ever shared on Lemon Stripes and the fact that the response was so positive and so full of love, made me incredibly grateful to have you as readers.
