The Hoek van Holland or The Hook of Holland is a town in the southwestern corner of Holland. That is where the word hoek derived, hoek means corner in English. This town is only about 20-30 minutes drive away from our home. The Hoek van Holland is administered by the municipality of Rotterdam and a beach that runs for about 18 kilometers to the famous Scheveningen in The Hague. On the other side of Hoek van Holland is the Europort, the biggest port in Europe.

I first went here three years ago, when I was heavy with my pregnancy with my son. My husband took me here to catch the sunset. I remember, I did not enjoy any of the sight that time. It was like a long walk for me. Unlike today, I enjoyed the time with my family, walking in the sand dunes, playing with my camera, and embrace the wind.

I am not feeling well today. Last night, I didn't have a good night's sleep. I was coughing hard, that I sleep on the living room so my husband can have a good sleep. I know how much he needed a good and long night's sleep. I spent the day sleeping while he was taking charge of everything here in our home. He made a delicious apple pie while I was sleeping. This afternoon, after we eat some slices of the apple pie and have coffee, he said he likes to go to Hoek van Holland.
My husband and my son, were fast. I grabbed my bag, my camera, my coat, and I just laced my canvas shoes in the car. It feels really good to be away for a while with my family.

| anyone knows what they are? Sailing cart? hahahah! |
 |
| i never overlook anything ordinary. |
 |
| I love this one! |
There are many wild flowers along the narrow path to the beach. My son loves to play in the sand dunes. I have my time for myself and to make nice photos of my husband and of my son. Not many people on the beach. I saw the Stena Ship, the big ship that carried passengers going to England. The sight excites me. One day, I really love to go in Cornwall, England.

| going farther! |
My son who first experienced to play in the beach as early as five months old when we went for a holiday in The Philippines was so happy to run barefoot, as if he likes to embrace the coming waves. My husband just took off his shoes and run to rescue our son! Hahaha!
 |
| time out, papa! :) |

Since we don't have anything with us, not even a towel or an extra clothes for our son, I removed my shirt and we put it to him so he will not feel cold.
That precise moment is something that makes me smile even until now.

| he looks cute wearing mama's shirt :) |
I have selected some photos that I want to share. One thing that I once again had feel today is: most of the best things in life are free and they are the greatest feeling if they are well spent with our family.
