We'd visit the local beach after work just to sit and watch the surfers. On the weekends we'd high tail it to Venice beach and walk up and down the boardwalk all day. Those were the good old days. We saw some interesting stuff during those years. After the sun started to go down we'd drive on up to Santa Monica and have dinner at a restaurant on the pier, and then spend the rest of the evening having drinks and watching all the evening beach people. More interesting stories. We've just gotten too lazy. But we still love it. Actually there's nothing like driving down to the beach early in the morning and having breakfast. It's so relaxing.<BR/><BR/>Hang-ten MuseSwubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518187045883429276.post-52141989992335918142008-03-04T20:29:00.000-06:002008-03-04T20:29:00.000-06:00Lovely post...but I don't like sand...I've spent t...Lovely post...but I don't like sand...I've spent too much time in deserts. My idea of coast is the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland, or the rocky shoreline of Scotland.<BR/><BR/>Back in 2002 we took our kids to Ireland for the summer. Well, of course <I>they</I> wanted the sandy beach...which there is in Ireland also. But mid-July temps were in the 60's...the kids went in anyway and actually the water was warmer than the air.J. L.

I live a long distance, unlike Swu, from any coast and this post made me yearn for some beach time.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518187045883429276.post-71117091014047735512008-03-03T16:01:00.000-06:002008-03-03T16:01:00.000-06:00Swu, you are only 50 miles from the beach and you ...Swu, you are only 50 miles from the beach and you are not there every weekend? We're almost four times that far away. Before the baby, we went at least monthly during the summer, sometimes twice a month. <BR/><BR/>I've got to get one of those metal detectors!

She'd collect sea shells, and I'd just daydream and take in the sights. Then, of course, there were the ubiquitous metal detector guys. They showed us rings and coins, and charms and all the other stuff they'd found. I thought it was cool, and I was determined to get one of those gadgets when I retired. But now that I'm retired, we're usually too tired to fight the traffic all the way to the beach. In our case, it's about 50 miles. Funny how we change.<BR/><BR/>Great story. have a nice day.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518187045883429276.post-3018072998358249912008-03-03T11:04:00.000-06:002008-03-03T11:04:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974717192873929184noreply@blogger.com
