I just got back from one night in Stone Harbor, NJ with two girlfriends. One of them has a house there so we just went for a one night get-away and boy did we have a boomer woman time!

ate lunch on the deck
hit the beach where we talked, walked and dozed
took an outdoor shower
walked through town and shopped
went out to dinner in Avalon
rode bikes
ate pancakes at the local pancake house
relaxed on the deck
laughed our way home in the car

Feeling very blessed by friendship.

Anyone else love the beach?

Yes yes yes, and did I say YES! I've always been drawn to water and sun and the fresh smell of the ocean. Those girlfriend getaways are great.

My grandparents had a large 2 story beach house on the beach in Indiana when I was growing up. I spent as much time there as possible, smelling the clean air off lake Michigan, eating picnic lunches, oh and lots of bike riding and time spent in the water. I envy you but am so happy for you as well. Another reeason I hate this hot/dry desert!

I miss the ocean. There is something so cleansing about breathing in the salt air and so soothing listening to the waves. But I also love the mountains. Being able to see those soaring peaks every day makes me happy.

The shore draws me..all terrains..stoney sandy and harbours.I am in an area where we are bordered by two river estuarys leading to the North Sea .If I walk a short distance to higher land I can see the water in the distance.
as I drive to town it appears and tells me if it is grey silver or blue..

I love the beach, too. I was raised in the midwest, so as a youngster the beach meant a lake or a river. When I visited the ocean for the first time, I fell in love. The smells, the sound of the waves, the pull and push of the sea - ah, yes, I love the beach.

Dotsie,
I love the beach! When we go RV'ing, WB & I, generally head for the beach, somewhere. I love Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Savannah, St. Augustine, Sarasota and The Keys. When in college, six girlfriends and I rented a cabin on the shores of Lake Erie.
Had a ball. And when my cousin was alive, she had a cabin near the Pa. stateline and hosted, what we called, staggettes. I love those female getaways! Sounds like you had a ball. Love it!

Vancouver sits by the ocean. I pass by different beaches when I bike nearly daily year round. We have beaches downtown. But water isn't for swimming.

Also beaches elsewhere along the waterfront route.

Yes, it is gorgeous since our summer weather is nearly rainless. (Yes, incredible.)

Because i'm out on the bike alot, I don't need to sunbathe on the beach. I just enjoy it for stops along the way...sometimes.

orchid,
Since you're posting again, I assume you're home from overseas?
Vacation is over for a while, now? How much time off do you
get every year? And did your significant other, go with you
to Germany?

Dennis and I are going to the north shore (Lake Superior) next week with one of my girlfriends. We will be staying in Grand Marais and spending time on the rocky shores. It will be all about relaxing, a bit of hiking and lots of laughter!
