The First of Many Baltic Walks

So far, on a scale of 1 to mom-status of taking pictures, I would say I'm at about a 2 at best. Believe me, I've brought my camera along lots of places, but it just doesn't hit me to take it out and capture.

We went to the Baltic today, which was fun. Brought my camera. Used it.

After my 1:15 class a few of us decided to take a walk down to the coast to catch some of the sunset. After a 30-minute walk the sidewalk opened up to this...what.the.sea.

At this point I'm excited about the opportunity to sink into a place and live instead of flying by to catch the high points.
