What a treat! Last weekend we took a road trip to New Jersey. I went to celebrate the wedding of a dear, dear, dear friend who I met on the first day of college. My Erie friends joined. Who could pass up an opportunity to dive into the ocean in late summer? Especially when it’s your first time ever for one of them. So, we put on our cover-ups, got some sandwiches from Wawa, and headed out on the NJ turnpike. Below you see a true Jersey native, body packed with all things beach, getting ready for a day embracing sand.
Jumping waves for a few hours exhausted us, but we sang our gratitude to Mother Ocean.
One highlight of the road trip were two extended sing-a-long sessions. We cranked up an eclectic YouTube playlist and sang our hearts out. Here are three wonderful songs we belted, sung by someone other than the original musicians.
A Case of You — Passenger
Romeo and Juliet — Indigo Girls
America — First Aid Kit
This weekend, we are off to Villa Maria for a formation weekend with Nancy Sylvester, IHM. Until next time...
Let us walk in the holy presence.
