My first favorite place is the beach. It really doesn't matter to me which beach it is or where it's located. One of my favorite hobbies is swimming and being outside feeling the sun on my skin, and the beach always provides that warm and happy feeling inside. Of corse my favorite type of beach has clear blue water, and white sands to enjoy catching seashells, and building sandcastles, but as long as I have my butt in the sand and the sun on my skin, I'm in my one of my favorite places.

My second favorite place is the church camp I attended growing up as a child. This camp is located in Bridgeport, Texas, off the lake of Bridgeport. I went to this camp for a total of 10 years, my first year was in the summer after third grade, and my last year was in the summer after I graduated high school. This camp will always have a special place in my heart, because it saved my life. I believe that this camp was God sent to me because during my third grade year my father passed away, and that year just happen to be the first year I was old enough to attend camp. The people and experiences helped heal me from my lost over the years, and every time I get a glimpse of the old wooden cross at the top of a hill, with the lake in the background brings me peace, and reminds me that God is forever with me.

I completely agree with you in that the beach is a place that makes me happiest—no matter where the beach is located! I, too, love being outdoors and mostly when it is warm so I can get that wonderful feeling of the warm sun on my skin. It truly is invigorating. I’m going to the beach for spring break this year and absolutely cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat that you have such a deep connection with a camp you went to as a kid. Very nice picture too!
