returning

The mini break to the coast was full of:

plenty of sun, with its sometimes playful mood of hide-and-seek behind clouds that reminded me of sky icebergs, 
walks on sandy shores with warm water surfing across bare feet,

But the sun was shining happy outside my windows and I am positive I had that look that seemed to say, "I wish I was still at the beach."
