This shot was taken on Sunday of last week (August 27th). It was a beautiful, partly sunny day. The dolphins were swimming, the kids were playing in the sand and I was trying out my new camera at the beach. I could probobly bombard you with a photo a day of the ocean, sand or seashell for the next three months, but I will save you from that. I just thought I should post a happy before the Tropical storm hit photo.
That wave crashing is on my favorite beach, storm or no storm, it is still my favorite. No surfin’ this year, my stitch still hasn’t healed and sadly I fear I will be returning for more surgery. Should know more later this week, but I this way I will be in better shape for me next surfin’ lesson.
we won’t be naming our future children…
ERNESTO.
First it was Bonnie, then Dennis. Now Ernesto has topped the list of names not to name your children.
The beach was fun, until Ernesto paid a visit. The calm before the storm lasted until Tuesday, the beach was closed for swimming Wednesday and Thursday due to the rip currents. And Friday there was no walking on the boardwalk the wind was so powerful. We did make a trip right when the full force of Ernesto could be felt an it was wicked to be thrown around in the wind and to see the waves so high, but it was also a bit creepy to think that we were riding this thing out less than a block from the beach.
All in all it was a great vacation and I will add some more tidbits later.
The car will be next and our new roof rack for all the extra stuff I can no longer jam into the trunk of a car. Yes, folks we still drive a car. We have a van but, considering it is 15 years old and costs $5 in gas just to go to the corner to get milk, we will pile into the car.
It actually looks like we will be ready to go earlier tomorrow than expected. Hubby took the whole day off, so I will have help with the last minute cleaning and stashing. Getting ready for out house sitter.
I am not sure what our connection will be like down there, if we will be able to hook into some wireless, so I may or may not post. If I can, you will definately hear from me, it will be great to post from my favorite beach. Otherwise, I will update on my return home.
