As you know, John and I are vacationing on St. George Island, Florida. Everyday starts out the same here on the Island. We wake up to this beautiful view. Somedays the waves are big and the beach has a wall of sand packed up by the crashing waves and some days the waves are small and the beach is long and flat. But no matter how the beach looks, we start the day the same way.
John carries our chairs down to the beach so they will be ready for us after our morning walk. We also take a cooler with our two Diet Cokes in it.
After we walk the beach for about an hour, we sit in our chairs and take it all in and yes, we still fell small when we sit beside the ocean.
We enjoy our Diet Cokes.
And then we take a dip in the sea. Today the sand bar was close enough to get to easily. It seemed like we were way out in the sea and the water was only up to our knees. Somedays the sand bar is way farther out and difficult to get to without swimming quite a distance. I used my little green inner tube today, too and that was fun since the waves were big. I did have some difficulty getting out of the tube after riding it to the shore. The waves kept crashing and I just wasn't sure how to stand up gracefully. Finally figured it out and was able to get up. Good times.
Then we head up to our pool and rinse off the sand. You are technically not supposed to do that in the pool, but we do it anyway. The pool water is always so warm. We don't spend lots of time in there, but it feels so good. After that we dry off on our breezy top deck. After that it is lunch time.
And that is how we spend a typical morning here on the Island. The afternoon includes more of the same with a bit of shopping, jigging, and reading thrown in. Dinner is usually followed y one more trip to our chairs to sit by the sea and then it starts all over again.
