get out to the beach at least once a week this summer

Bummer. With only one sunny day on this long weekend (can you freakin’ believe it) I chose to work on another goal and start landscaping the front yard instead of going to the beach. But I’ll only count this as a partially failed goal since my main reasons for this goal is to get outside and enjoy the day instead of being cooped up inside either catching up on housework or being at the mall buying junk i don’t really need. Yard work (although it’s work and not relaxation) is, at least, outside.

Saturday was a perfect day to go to the beach. Hot and sunny. We went to New River Beach which is about a 30 minute drive from home. It’s an ocean beach so you need to be aware of the tide tables if you want to have some beach to sit on ;) We went out just as the tide was turning so were able to spend a good 4 hours baking in the sun. Lovely!

There are some beaches that are good for laying in the sun, some for swimming and having fun, others still for walking the dog, collecting shells and rocks. Of the beaches I can choose from, surely I should be able to manage to get to one at least once a week.
