Beach Trip
This summer I am determined to find a couple of weekends for a beach trip. I sometimes go to the lake, but it is not the same as going to the ocean.We went to the Lake a couple of weeks ago and it was relaxing but the water is a dirty brown and the flies and mosquitoes are awful.
I miss the sound of the ocean waves, the seagulls swooping down, the smell of tanning lotion, the fresh seafood and roadside stands on the way home to buy cantalopes and corn on the cob.The ocean breeze keeps the bugs away, too.
It used to take 5 hours to get to the closest ocean beach, but traffic keeps getting worse and I hear that it is a 7 hour trip now. That is hard to do for just a weekend – but I am determined. Not this weekend – but soon.
