Game plan

So I head to the beach with my family soon.

Plan - either wake up early or ask for time after little boy's bedtime to walk the boardwalk and listen to the water. During the day, I am sure we will be moving sand, boogie boarding, playing badminton ( oooh. remember to pack the rackets and birdie), but I really want some quiet time this year. I can't wait to strap on the Ipod to my arm and walk. I really like going out on the beach early in the morning, but often can't get out of bed early enough for it to be cool ( figuratively or temperature) If you go out around 6:30 - 7:30 only the elderly early birds or the exercise nuts are out. It's sunny, but peaceful. And at night, if you wait long enough, the families go to bed and the moon might be out reflecting of the water, the wind is cold and the water sounds.... great. ( that description sucks, by the way) Sometimes at night it feels a little lonely as that is the best time I think, to be hand and hand with someone, or have their arm around you to keep you warm while looking at the ocean. Peaceful bonding, I guess. But if you just listen to the ocean, it has a power to relax and a smell that is unique but great.

My friend from work told me to try and be sure to feel like I took a vacation. :-) I hope this helps. To just take some time and run away.

That and riding the ferris wheel while gripping the side and pleading Christian not to rock the seat. ;-) Don't look down.... just don't look down.
