Hiiiii!!
Again I'm an going to write about Southampton. Just like last year, my mother, sister and I made the trek to Southampton, a four hour drive from where we live (which isn't too bad.... it could have been much worse!) My mother's cousin has a cottage there, and she is always so kind to let us come for a visit.I started my fourth year on University on September 3rd, but I still considered this part of the summer. We left that day after my class and stayed for Labor Day weekend. We lucked out because the weather was BEAUTIFUL!(As I write this is is raining and cold outside and I am longing for those warm sunny days on the beach).
Southampton is such a calming, beautiful place and honestly could come straight out of a book. The beaches are gorgeous, there are people riding bikes everywhere, there are so many cute shops along the main street, lighthouses are everywhere, and the list could go on.
It was my last trip of the summer and I couldn't be more grateful for such a wonderful weekend before the stresses of school begin to creep up.
Of course I need to share some picture from this little holiday (even though they don't even come close to capturing the essence of this place).

| In an alleyway on the main street someone had set up their little shop |
 |
| This is the beach just down the road from where our cottage is, and we stayed here the majority of our trip |
 |
| Pictures of the sun seem so magical to me!! You can see the beams of light shining down on the water |
 |
| On Friday nights during the summer they have a bagpiper on the main beach who plays as the sun sets |
The last night, we were about to leave but through the trees we could see the sun setting so we doubled back to the beach and enjoyed our last sunset in Southampton for this year. Watching a sunset is one of the most beautiful things on this earth, and I never get tired of it. Just look at it.... there really is nothing like it!! (this picture doesn't even do it justice!)

| My sister who hates being photographed:P |
 |
| This has to be my favourite picture that I took |
 |
| My mom's cousin, my sister and my mother; I was trying to be sneaky and take their picture without their knowledge:P |
Whenever I come here, I just feel happy. It is not necessarily the most exciting place but I enjoy it immensely.
Let me know if there is a place where you like to go that just fills you with happiness. Everybody has at least one, and I'd love to hear where they are. And if you are visiting Ontario, I would definitely recommend going to Southampton (in the summer at least, i'm not sure what it's like in the winter:P)
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and for those of you who started school, I hope your first week went well!
Byeeee <3
