For my second installment of "summery goodness", I chose playing at the beach. I was once told by an acquaintance that our beach is not actually a "beach",but rather a "coast". Even though it is always quite cool on our coastline, we still dip our feet in the water, and dive our toes into the warm sand. I think this constitutes a beach. I really don't want to be basking in 100 degree sun in a bikini next to 200 other people doing the same thing-really.
To me, flying kites, exploring tide pools, building sand castles, tossing the Frisbee, and searching for shell and beach glass are essential summer activities. We are lucky enough to live within a few hours of the beach, and just got back from a delightful week at Neskowin, one of our all time favorites.
So, we were able to do all of the things that make playing on the beach summery goodness. I hope you all get a chance to dip your toes in the salty water this summer as well.
p.s. I have reduced my summery goodness posts from 20 to 10. I have realized that there simply is not enough summer left for me, the slow blogger, to do 20!
You inspired me to make reservations for a beach (yes I said beach) vacation for our family, as well. We are staying in Manzanita, which is one of my favorite beach towns. We will be going for my oldest daughter's 4th birthday. YAY!
Thanks for the great idea!
