Weekend at the Beach

It was a very busy weekend.  We managed to cram quite a lot of activity into our weekend getaway.  And we enjoyed every minute.

The beach itself.  Sand and sun and water.  It was a beautiful weekend.  The weather was very cooperative!

The shopping.  We mananged to find some time to check out the outlet malls.

The food.  There's nothing quite like fresh seafood!

We were talking last night about what were our favorite moments of the weekend.  One thing we both agreed on was lunch Saturday at Bubba's Fish Shack.  We ate on the porch with a view of the beach, watching the sun reflecting off the water.  There was a wonderful breeze.  The food was good.  If there had been a hammock, I could easily have spent the afternoon there napping!

It's good to get away from it all sometimes.  Our schedule this fall is very hectic.  In fact, when we had looked at the calendar, this was the only weekend available for our beach get-away, so we squeezed it in between two of Al's business trips.  It also happened to be his birthday on Sunday, but we didn't plan it as a birthday trip.  We just saw an opportunity and took it!

We all need those breaks in our schedule.  Those times of refreshing.  Even if only for a weekend.

It was great to get away.  To relax and refresh.  To enjoy the beauty of another part of God's creation.

And it's good to be back home!
