Time is moving so fast for me right now and I don't want to miss out on summer. I almost had myself convinced that I couldn't do summer activities because I get home too late from work (6:00pm) and by the time I have dinner it is too late to do anything. Not true!! The weather has been so beautiful over the past three weeks and it has lasted well into the evening. It is daylight until almost 10:00pm so I have time. What I often lack is the 'get up and go' energy after being at work all day.
Wednesday night I knew I needed to get outside, but after dinner I felt tired, and the urge to do nothing started creeping in. John encouraged me to go out on my bike anyway, which I slowly got ass my ass in gear to do, and I woke up in a big way. It was only my second bike ride of the season so I wasn't sure how far I could go. When I got on my bike, it just sort of drove itself to the beach. Once there I kicked off my shoes and got almost knee deep in the beautiful, clear, warm, gorgeous water. The wind was blowing, so there were also big, beautiful waves that kept crashing into me. I didn't have my swimsuit with me, so I just enjoyed the water on my feet and the sights and sounds of the beach. It was just lovely and I wholeheartedly agree that life is better at the beach.
The bike ride home is uphill the whole way and I really got a good work out doing it. Halfway home, John met up with me in the car, to offer a ride if I was too tired to bike the whole way. I was happy and energized and was more than able to make it home (up all the hills), but I find it sweet that he cares.
Thursday night we finally got a parking pass so we drove down to the beach for a quick swim. I'm overjoyed that the water is not freezing at 8:00pm as I really want to spend as much time in the water as I can this summer, and after work is my prime time to enjoy it. I will get to enjoy some daytime swims this summer too, as I had a day off yesterday and my Bro's came up and we spent three wonderful hours at the beach. Looking forward to going back sometime this weekend and then every beautiful evening for the remainder of the summer. Can't wait!

The beach has been amazing all summer. The water feels just like soup -- warm and inviting. We've spent the last three Fridays there with no plans to stop the trend. All praise EJ for even letting us know the beach existed! ;-) Much love. Dbro.
