Beach Day
I went to the beach the other day. It was a lot of fun. It’s a bit of a drive to get there, otherwise I’d do it a lot. Haley’s dad owns a condo on the beach over at Daytona, so we go there from time to time and spend the day. The waves were nice, the sun was out, just a tiny bit of a breeze. You know, it’s actually a few degrees cooler there than it is here in Orlando, so that was really nice, too. Boy oh boy, I hate summer here. It’s so brutally and painfully hot that even going from the front door to your car is a hellish experience. It’s oppressive and mind-numbing.
But, anyway, the beach was a great time. The water was cool, the sun was out, and there weren’t a lot of people crowding the area. I got some of my color back and Haley and Bailey got freaked out by a jumping fish. So, we went in and washed off and jumped in the pool for a while. Then, we relaxed on his balcony for a while, had dinner, and went home. It was a really good time. It made me miss living in my old apartment at Sun Key. It had a few pools in the complex that were rather clean and never crowded. When Haley and Bailey came to visit, we’d hit the pool up for a few hours, then take over one of the grills and make burgers and hotdogs or chicken. Of course, I paid out the wazoo for that place. Still, I have a lot of fond memories of that place. What I wouldn’t give for the current neighborhood to have a pool. Honestly, I don’t even know where the closest one is.
Regardless, I had a fun day at the beach.
