We have food. We have boogie boards. We have a football. We have reading material. We have deck chairs. We have a house on the beach. We aren't going anywhere today.We all kept to our own schedules - meeting at meal times and the occasional basketball game on TV. The boys spent a good several hours perfecting their boogie boarding skills, everyone spent time working on their tan, and the evening was topped off by hunting for crabs at night on the beach.
We thought about big questions today. How long until a house on the beach loses its novelty? Is the water on the chairs in the morning humidity, or rain? What are those clumpy things on the beach? How far out do you have to go to get out of the shallow water? How far in do sharks swim? Would it be better or worse for the Shockers if we watched the game? Does coffee on a deck by the beach naturally taste better? Why is it so cold in the afternoon when the sun is out? Should we worry that the boys can shake the house intentionally and enjoy doing so?Bottom line, today was a relaxing day of avoiding the highways as the locals left for home after their spring break. Tomorrow they go back to school and tomorrow we get the island to ourselves.
