A beachin' day.


Went to the beach today, which I was DREADING, b/c I'm not really into baking in the sun. But it was really cool b/c we stayed in the water the whole time, and the water was the perfect temp. The sand was like sugar and everyone was laid-back and happy, despite there being a massive crowd. The best thing about the beach is the way it hits you like a tranquilizer. You know, I'm usually relatively hassled about "outings," and yet, sitting there in the surf, leisurely digging my hands into the shells and fine sand, and listening to a far-off band play while the waves broke, I realized that the pay-off was definitely worth it. Afterwards, we hit a local Mexican joint and had a carbfest, and then topped that off with the best gelato -- Baci for me, mint chocolate chip for the boys, and lemon for Ilana.
