Most of the morning was spent in thunderstorms, which is not a great way to start a beach vacation.\u00a0 We hung out in the room for a bit, checking the weather and wondering what we should do with the day.\u00a0 However, there was supposed to be a small window of a couple of hours that were not spposed to be a storm.<\/p>\n
Friends, we go to the beach to sit our asses on the sand and play in the ocean, not to play mini-golf or go to funhouses.\u00a0\u00a0 That meant we were going to try for that little window of decent beach time.<\/p>\n
We got lucky.\u00a0 That little window of time turned into as perfect a beach afternoon as you could hope for.\u00a0\u00a0 The waves weren’t large, but other than that, we had a great time.\u00a0\u00a0 We played in the water, watched my nephew create one of his sand engineering works, and Mom and I did a quarter mile swim along the shoreline.<\/p>\n
Yep, Mom’s an open water swimmer now.\u00a0 (No, I don’t think she’s really going to get into the sport.\u00a0 She was humoring me by going along and doing a little swim with me.)<\/p>\n
The heavens opened around dinnertime, which was fine.\u00a0 We stayed in and made a puzzle.\u00a0 I know, hot times with the Figart household, huh?<\/p>\n
As is my habit during Beach Week, I’m up with the sunrise, though I gotta say, the camera is not doing the spectacular dawn any justice.<\/p>\n
