I placed each block in a position to tell my story at Moda Bake Shop’s Summer Camp 2019.
I took the red eye from Arizona to New York the night before camp started. We met family and friends who joined us for Summer Camp.  We drove to the east coast seashore at the end of Long Island.  Sun was just rising. Boaters were avoiding buoys as they headed out to sea for a day of fun. Lifeguard stations were being set up on the sand and families were leaving their cabins for a day in the sun.  We took a walk along the shoreline to visit the Montauk Point Lighthouse. In 1963 my husband, boyfriend at the time, took me there for the first time. It’s one of our favorite memories. I added the longitude and latitude of the lighthouse.
As the hours passed we flew back to the west coast seashore to Dana Point, a favorite spot of ours when we lived in California. As we arrived at the beach children were under beach umbrellas hiding from the noon sun eating ice cream and ice pops.  Others were playing beach ball with new found friends.  As the sun was setting over the Pacific we took a walk along the shore and found Starfish.  Moms and dads were lighting sparklers for their children while we enjoyed looking at the full moon and the sky filled with stars. I added the longitude and latitude of Dana Point.
Thanking Moda Bake Shop and all the designers who participated in another fabulous Summer Camp.
