feliciakwThe sun came out, and we went to the beach. Did I mention that we have our own private board walk to the beach? It's fantastic!
NewphewB (who will be 13 next month) and I spent much of the time picking up sea shells. I'm going to take a bunch back to an artist friend who makes jewelry and ask her to do something with them. The purple ones are my favorite.
The sand on our portion of the shore (we're in Duck, NC, this year), shifts very easily, and much of it isn't sand at all, but tiny bits and pieces and shards of seas shells. Ouch. And the waves were coming in fast today; I got wiped out more than once reaching for a shell and not being fast enough.
And the water was COLD today. But as I told everyone, you stay in long enough, you can't feel anything anyway (just be careful of hypothermia, eh?).
I'm a bit red after today's adventure (and I did put on sunscreen), but not nearly as bad as I was last year.
I think I'll sleep well tonight.
