I know it's funny that a post about the beach would come right after a post about fall, but since we were just there: I love living in Florida and being able to head to the beach for the weekend. sure, the summers are miserably hot but that's passed for the year and we've earned the upcoming six months of beautiful weather (plus we catch a
lot of movies in the summer while enjoying the air conditioning!)!
it's become a tradition of ours to play van morrison's into the mystic as we drive into the area. you know that moment when you're headed to the beach and then after a long drive you are close enough that the air is a bit cooler and you can just catch a hint of salt or catch a glimpse of the water? that moment.
I also love:
- How Nate is always reading a Michael Connelly book and because the whole back cover is his face it looks as if Nate's body has Michael Connelly's head.
- The moment after you've dragged a day's worth of stuff out onto the sand and you sit in your beach chair and think "we are here!"
- Floating out in the almost wave-less gulf and being completely and totally relaxed.
- How everyone shows up to watch the sunset in Captiva, cocktail in hand.
- Going to the grocery store on a beach trip (or any vacation really) and going into full vacation food spree mode- cheese! chips! wine! fruit! crackers!
can't wait to go back ;)
