Goin’ beachin’
Soon, very soon, we will be at the beach. Katie and I didn’t get a summer vacation last year (thanks a lot, C), so we’re both extra excited about our vacation this year.
I’ve already got a stack of books ready to be packed, and I’ve ordered some new swimming trunks. We’re making a list, and soon we’ll be assembling the beach gear.
But it’s odd. I don’t actually like the ocean; I have no desire to get in the water. I hate heat, and I have zero desire for soaking in the sun. Sand does nothing for me, either.
I’m not sure what I love about the beach so much. Maybe it’s just because I grew up loving to go to the beach every year. And maybe it’s because the beach means vacation and escape from the stresses of home and work and alarm clocks. Or maybe it’s just the simple beauty of the water and the sound of the waves.
Or maybe it’s all of the above. All I know is I’m ready to leave now.

I feel the EXACT same way! I LOVE the beach…..but will NOT dare go in too deep only sit near the shoreline. I don’t like the sand…its EVERYWHERE when you come back.
But I love the ocean…and sitting out at night watching and listening (even during the day).
Its relaxing!
We are going to Florida in August! Can’t wait!
maybe its the seafood? shorts & sandals…and tropical adult beverages?
It’s the sound of the waves for me, so relaxing! Have a great vacation!
maybe it’s because you get to see me… what’s on your reading list?
Funny. Though I normally hate the heat, I am all about soaking up the rays, the sand between my toes, and feeling the gentle waves of the water. My hubby, though, like you is not a fan of the whole beach thing.
