“I was at Beach #10 on Presque Isle with our children during this past summer. As they busied themselves building a driftwood fort, I noticed all the beautiful objects lying around on the sand. My husband and I often daydream about escaping this world as we know it and living on a deserted beach, just us. Using rocks, sand, driftwood and shells, I created this for him. I took a picture and sent it to him at work. For this I love you because this beach is our dream.”
